THE CRICKET TESTS.
QUALITY OF AUSTRALIANS. OPINION OF BARDSLEY. A. w>d N.Z. LONDON, April 8. Warren Bardsley, the Australian cricketer, contributes his third article on the prospects of the approaching cricket test matches between the Australians and England's eleven. Bardsley disagrees with Tate's view that Ponsford is not likely to succeed on English wickets. Ponsford's faults are merely those of inexperience, which England's slower wickets will provide an opportunity of correcting, and he will return a greater batsman than ever. Woodfull can now be classed as a batsman equally at home on either good or bad wickets, and the Englishman will find him hard to get out. Richardson can punch the ball with & ferocity of a Bonnor or a Massie, but when required "he can sit on the splice," and his good length spin bowling will be most valuable in England.
