NEED OF SLOW BOWLER
AUSTRALIAN TEST TEAM W. A. OLDFIELD'S OPINIONS (Received October 11, 0.40 p.m.) FREMANTLE, Oct. 11 The former Australian wicketkeeper W. A. Oldfield, who was in England as a newspaper correspondent during the recent series of test matches, returned by the Orcadcs to-day. The Australian team had sadly needed a slow bowler to provide a consistent foil for O'Reilly, said Oldfield.
There was also a place for a fast bowler with the necessary Btamina to stand the strain of five tests. England, ho added, was blessed with a fine array of young talent, providing a most hopeful outlook. Wright had been tha most successful bowler for England. The individual brilliance of Bradman and O'Rcilly was largely responsible for Australia's retaining the Ashes.
