A MATCH TO WIN.
Any suggestion that tho Australians were letting the English team down light] 3-, because they did not attach any importance to the third test match, must hare received a knock-out blow when the Australians’ second innings ended. A score of 552 runs is not made by a team which is giving anything away. The chances of tin- Englishmen, rosy after their fine first innings, have become rather blue. They have to make 490 runs to win, and that is it task which even their friendliest critic can hardly imagine them accomplishing. | it is a big hurdle, but not an lmposj sible one. The conditions appear to ■ bo ideal, and the wicket is reported 1 to be wearing splendidly. If the Engj lislinien can pull this match out of the tire they will add a brilliant page to j test match history .
