ENGLISH CRICKET CONTROL.
COUNTIES AND THE TESTS. AN IRRATIONAL SYSTEM.* A. and N.Z. LONDON, Dec. 14. The Pall Mall Gazette says: 'We are not to have another Australian eleven here until 1926. It will be all that time before we are ready to meet them with a chance of winning. Judging by the behaviour of the organisers of English cricket everything is still being sacrificed to the selfish interests of the first-class counties. The Marylebone Club has endorsed the decision restricting the tests to three days. We knew what the Australians think of threeday tests, and the English public recognise that the Australians are right, but the old irrational system continues. We will never organise a victorious English Bide on the basis of county cricket alone."
