FIRST TEST MATCH.
GREGORY’S ILLUSTRIOUS NAME. (Australian Press Association.) Received December 4, 1.5 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 3. Writing in the Morning Post, Mr P. F. Warner states: — “Only a cricket miracle can deprive England of victory. “Remembering the Sydney test ox 1894, which is so graphically described in the book written by George Giffen, the great Australian cricketer, who will say that Chapman was wrong in not enforcing the follow-on? , “If it is true that Gregory has played his last big match he retires with the reputation of having been one ot tho chief factors of Australia s long run of success, wWch began in _ 1920. He is a great attractive personality on and off the field, antf has added fresh lustre to an illustrious name.” _ . Mr Warner expresses tho opinion that Chapman, Mead, Hendren and Hammond ran a grave risk of fielding bareheaded in the brilliant sunshine, “though they possess more locks thani some cricketers we know.”
