The Evening Standard states that even the orthodox opening is disturbed by the miserable progress of the test trial at Lords. Colonel Trevor, in the Daily Telegraph, -says he is distinctly pained and the cricket-loving public is complaining bitterly. Ho thinks 10J hours’ cricket on an easy pitch, with bowling of which nobody thinks highly, ought to produce more than 554 runs for 13 wickets. The batsmen, with all the conditions in their favour, did not score more than 53 an hour. This is simply not trying to win in three days.
