IN QUEST OF ASHES.
AUSTRALIAN TEAM SAILS. ENGLISH CRITICS CONFIDENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received March 16, 8.35 p.m.) LONDON, March 15. The newspapers give prominence to the sailing of the Australian team. “Plum” Warner, writing in the “Morning Post,” confesses that he is optimistic that the Tests won’t be the runaway affairs of 1921. “Our- cricket has improved. The difficulty will be making an effective combination, well equipped in all points.” In this connection he quoted warning]}- a letter from a critic in Australia saying that those selected ought to be almost as good a fielding side as 1921. to which the "Morning Post” editorially says: “Surely they never could be surpassed in this respect.” The paper regards the bowling of Everett as likely to be a source of unexpected strength. It must not be assumed therefore, that the Australians, though admittedly strong in batting, are likely to be comparatively weak in fielding and bowling.
