ALL OUT FOR 144

AUSTRALIA’S POOR START ENGLAND COMMENCES WELL 129 RUNS FOR ONE WICKET HOBBS DISMISSED AT 74 Rec. 1.40 a.in. London, June 16. Australia w-ae 130 behind, with two wickets to fall, when the test was resumed at Trent Bridge this 'morning. The weather was cool and overcast with a light breeze. The crowd numbered 10,000.

Larwood, whose 13 overs on Saturday cost only 11 runs, sent down a maiden to Kippax, Tyldesley bowling a maiden - to Hornibrook, who let every ball go past. Kippax then scored a single. Larwood’s next ball dismissed the Queenslander, who was palpably beaten. Wall played on and became the third Australian to fail to score, the innings ending after a quarter of an hour. Hobbs and Sutcliffe forced the scoring right from the commencement of England’s second innings, both stealing impudent singles, five coming from one over off Wall. Hobbs cover-drove Fairfax’s first ball for four and then, cut Wall to the boundary, four overs yielding 18 run.e Fairfax was taken off after three overs in favour of Grimmett. Hobbs was still enterprising, his 25 appearing after 25 minutes. This was an uncommonly brisk start for test cricket. Details of the scores are: —

LUCK AGAINST AUSTRALIANS. OPINIONS OF ENGLISH CRITIC. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, June 16. Mr. “Plum” Warner, writing in the Morning Post, says so far fortune has been against the Australians. They had to bowl with a slippery ball and bat on a pitch affected by rain. .It was certainly Robins’ day. Seldom has anytme made so happy a debut as an allrounder in fest cricket. Mr. Warner would like also to pay a tribute to the clever way Grimmett altered his pace in accordance with the different styles of the batsmen, and no praise was too much for Kippax’s graceful innings. His late cuts and strokes off the leg were beautifully made-. Australia had all the worst of the luck. The Australian Press Association correspondent, commenting on Saturday’s play, says it would not be accurate to describe the pitch as bad, although it was undoubtedly a bowler’s wicket. The balls flew awkwardly and breaks took deadly effect. Tate bowled superbly and Chapman handled the attack cunningly. An interesting battle of wits preceded the dramatic fall of wickets,’ for it appears Woodfull was anxious to resume before lunch, when the sun had not had a chance to make the wicket difficult. Chapman, who naturally ‘wanted to get Australia in after the sun had affected the wet pitch, would not agree, and the umpires decided in the Englishman’s favour.
