“ToWERFULBAniNG ~ “PLUM” WARNER SHOWS OPTIMISM FAITH IN ENGLISH TEAM /Australian and S.Z. Press Association) Becd. 12.12 p.m. LONDON. Sunday. ■•plum" Warner, in the “Morning Post.’’ writes: “As far as batting is concerned, the Marylebone men are going from strength to strength. In jjjy own opinion it is the most powerful batting side ever sent to Australia. •■I recognise that a representative Australian team is a different proposition from any single State team, but I do not see how the Marylebone team can fail to make many runs in the tests. They have met and mastered all the possible bowlers except Oxenham and Beckett. “The Australian selectors must be doing a lot of hard thinking. My remarks are pitched in an optimistic key, but I have not forgotten Stoddart's team, which in 1897-8 started in a blaze of glory and then lost four j 0 f five tests. Even remembering this, j one must be a confirmed pessimist not to feel confident of the present team's ability to win the rubber."
