CREDIT TO AUSTRALIA WHO LOST HANDSOMELY
Tested by the Tests
CLAMOURING PARTISANS AND PRESS CRITICISMS
“THE GAME’S THE THING.”
Australian Press Association.
Received Wednesdav, 11.30 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 20,
In commenting on P. F. Chapman’s claim in Sydney that every match of the tour had been played in the best possible spirit, the Daily Telegraph states: “If some of the credit fairly belongs to him au:l to his men, let us acknowledge even more is due to the Australians. It is none too easy to play the game in the best temper when thousands of excited partisans are clamouring and making every trifle tremendously important nor is it made easier by a flood of press criticism. The reason why Imperial cricket has brought England and the Dominions to have a better opinion of each other and a warmer liking, is that cricket, oven in the merciless rigour of a test match, requires that men should play the game.’’
