COMMENT IN ENGLAND CRITICS SHQW RESTRAINT (Received December 7, 3 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 6. It is generally agreed that Australia was outplayed in the test, but critics warn England to remember 1930. They express the opinion that despite Larwood’s brilliance, the bowling must be strengthened, and predict that Voce will be heavily punished. One critic says Pataudi’s was probably the worst century in test history. Mr. Carson writes: “We should not think that we are easily the best team. If the cricket is in Australia, the selectors will find it. Australia may accept one defeat, but will never admit that we are finer cricketers.” TEAMS FOR TO-MORROW R.S.A. (v.
