COLLINS PRAISES Hls TEAM.

By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copvrixht MELBOURNE, March 9. At a luncheon to the touring Australian cricketers, the captain, H. L. Collins, referring to Fender’s remarks on unsportsmanlike tactics, said that ever since he had been playing cricket there had never been an incident that could he construed as unsportsmanlike. As a selector he could say that great care had been taken in selecting tbo team from that point of view, and every player was a thorough sportsman.
