CRICKET

THE TEST MATCHES,

SYDNEY, Nov. 18. The statement that if test matches went into the fifth day play would be limited to between 11.30 and 1.30 has now been corrected. The arrangement is that the tests be played out. The Englishmen arrived, and after an enthusiastic welcome at the Town Hall, proceeded to practice. The rush for membership tickets for Sydney matches is so great that the Trust has already closed lists. Eollowin* the easy defeat of South Australia and Victoria, it has become current talk that Douglas, already having the “Hobbs and Fender,” is sure to get the ashes.
