IMPRESSIONS OF OLDFIELD. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, Sept. 26. Oldfield informed the Daily Express, when interviewed on the eve of his departure, that he had selected Hobbs, Woolley, Duleepsinhji as the best batsmei**rSs Australians had met, Tate and Heebies as the best bowlers, Duckworth and Ames as the best wicket-keepers, and Chapman and Hendren as the best fielders. Duleepsinhji was one of the best batsmen in the world. Peebles was England’s coming bowler, but Robins was at present the most dangerous, since occasionally he sent down an unplayable ball which distinguished the really great bowlor. Though slower Peebles was more untiring and more athletic, but he did not use the leg break sufficiently. Asked which towns afforded the Australians the most enthusiastic reception, he named Swansea first and then Bristol.
