CRICKET.

CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE. ... NEWSPAPER COMMENTS. By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received Jan. 5, 9.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, Jan. 5. The Herald says that no extraneous reason is assignable for the inexplicable collapse of the African cricketers. The wicket and light were still perfect. Pnssihlby the batsmen wore nervous and played ten cautiously. Whitty bowled finely, hut no bettor than in the first test. Cotter rocked them home, but has bowled faster. The exhibition was just one of the unaccountable rots which set in for no obvious reason when oven the best batsmen are at the wickets. The Telegraph sums up the visitors thus: *Tn an even go they had played over the Australians during three days, and probably if their task in Dio second innings had been a greater one they would have mad© a better showing. They seemed carried off their foot by their success up to a certain point, and, realising the possibilities, were knocked off their accustomed base and did not show the skill which certainly is in them.”
