YORKSHIRE SPIRIT WANTED FOR AUSTRALIA LONDON, July 17. “If we had more ‘Yorkshire spirit’ for Australia it would certainly increase England’s chances,” says Hobbs in an article in tho Daily Mail paying tribute to Yorkshire’s dourness and tenacity in beating Notts. ‘‘Nevertheless, Verity is by no means certain of selection,” lie says. “There‘is little chance of getting a suitable wicket, and it must be a good side before it can afford to play a slow left-hander on a dry wicket. Ho would only be a ‘passenger.’
“I am afraid the Australian wickets arc never as sticky as formerly. Dry wickets are not as fast., and indeed, wickets generally are easier.”
