TESTS PLAYED TO FINISH
Second only to the King in the j public interest this week is the ? first England-Australia cricket f test at Brisbane. But while every- i body h>s been flocking round t wireless'sets for progress reports | and ball-to-ball descriptions of '• the game, the question of the time | allowed for the tests in Australia | has been the subject of much f argument. t
To put an end to , all this dif- i ference of opinion, the “Advo-, | cate” advises that all tests in Aus- f tralia are played to a finish. Five f days for each is stipulated on the | itinerary, but should the game 4 not be completed in that time, f play carries on. |
In England, the tests are definitely confined to four days, but should the fifth decide the fate of the “Ashes,” it is played to a finish. The second test takes place at Sydney froin December IE to 22.
