WICKETS TOO GOOD
CRICKET IN AUSTRALIA EIGHT DAYS TESTS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.! (Received Nov. 14, noon.) LONDON, Nov. 13. "Plum" Warner, writing in the Morning Post, says: "1247 runs for 20 wickets, or an average of 72 per wicket, is an argument for those advocating the abolition of a 'shirt-front' pitch. It looks as if given, strong batting teams and fine .weather, four days will rarely be sufficient to bring a match in Australia to a conclusion. My view is that there is nothing wrong with the laws of cricket, but we should return to a normal wic-ket. Some of the coming tests may well last seven or eight days. Kippax is now certain of a place in the Australian eleven. Bradman'a career is remarkable for one so young. He delights in'giving a bowler 'the push,' as A. G. Steel put it. Kippax and Bradman have apparently mastered Freeman by" going downjhe Ditch to him."
"VERY ORDINARY" ;T THE AUSTRALIAN ELEVEN (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received Nov. 14, noon.) j SYDNEY, Nov. 14. The Australian eleven, not the'test team, is definitely completed. -Ryder is not available. The team is as follows: Richardson (captain), ScOtt. Harris (South Australia), Nothling (Queensland), Andrews, Oldfield. Bettiugton, Morgan, Hooker, Jackson, Bradman (New South . Scaife is twelfth man. ,
The team is regarded as very ordinary, and the Englishmen are not takr ing it very seriously. There is considerable press controversy over tho method of selection.
