COMMENT IN ENGLAND
JACKSON ANOTHER TRUMPER (Australian and N.Z Press Association.) LONDON, Feb. 2. "Australia's bad start" was one of Fleet Street's ostrich-like posters thin morning, for nothing was said about England's bad finish, in which connection critics pay a tribute to the steadiness of the Australian bowlers. > The Standard says: "It is anybody's game," and gives a splash eulogy to Jackson as "a Trumpet in the making" for rescuing his side from a J desperate position. He and Hammond are bracketed as heroes when their sides were in dire straits, while Ryder is not forgotten for setting a captain's example to the side. MacLaren, in the Sunday Times, complains of the slow tactics of batsmen who don't bat. He says: "Ryder can point to undeniable success in screwing down the English batsmen to a rate of 40 odd runs per hour for the first six and a-half hours play." , ~ "Plum" Warner, in the Morning Post, says: "England's innings is not a great start, but is within a few runs of the opening day at Brisbane. Anything over 350 is still a good score in 'tests. The Australians have not reached 400 in any test this tour.
