United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Monday, 9.20 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 6.
Mr. Robertson Glasgow, in an article in the Morning x-ost on the suoject of tne cricKeo Tests, says; “I consider tne scales nave seldom been so evenly balanced. Almost, everything depends on tureo men, namely, Bradman, O’Reilly and Hammond. Tney are tho three most important cricketers in the world. Grimmctt’s admirers w”. prooably demur at this judgment, but this wonderful little man cannot f orever refuse to be elderly. “Bradman is terrible in the way Walter Lindruni is terrible. His dismissal always appears to ho an act of Providence not of man. O’Reilly combines pertinacity and guile in a manner seldom achieved. Hammond has mellowed since ho first went to Australia and is now even more dangerous. “I cannot tnink Voce will succeed without the inspiration of Larwood. Parnes tends too often to bowl into tho batsmen from the ofi which is a method on which the Australians were almost teetied. Robins is not the bowler of SNe years ago. Sims is brilliant and reliable in success and negligible in failure.”
