WOMEN'S CRICKET NOT "TESTS "
The Australian women cricketers to tour England have decided on the advice of the English team that the big games of the tour shall not bo called test matches. It seems a good idea. The dour competitiveness of tests is not necessary for women's cricket, particularly at this stage of the sport's development. There is nothing wrong with the playing of tests; in fact they are the highlights of cricket, but the English women's idea of non-emphasis on the test atmosphere should make the tour a memorable one for the Australians.
