Mr “Plum’-’ Warner,” in an article in the “Standard,” says: The rivalry of views in the selections of men for the Australian tour has given English, cricket a great impetus. He declares that cricket is “simply booming throughout the countryside. I do not remember when interest among players .and spectators wvas so keen, or play so fine. Hobbs, Woolley, J. W. Hearue, Hendren, Kilncr, and Mead are especially noteworthy. It is now clear that the English will secure a very powerful batting and fielding side. The bowling is still doubtful, but the prospects are more promising. Durston, the Middlesex giant, is proving a fast bowler and one of our best.” AUSTRALIAN VISIT HOME. (Received Monday, 9.35 a.m.) LONDON, Saturday.. It is regarded as practically certain that an Australian cricket, team will visit England in 1921, and. play a test nieteh at the Old Tafford in July.
