CRICKET

(By Senex) Oxcnbam continues to be the outstanding bowler of the Australian side in India. 1 am specially pleased at his success because I considered that more than once he merited inclusion in a Ten team for England and w a s omitted, file ex-internationals, Macartney and iiyder, lia\e shown that they can. still score a century on occasion Of the newer players, Morrisby, t he Tasmanian, seems to have been doing best with the bat tecently. I was disappointed with the Englishmen's display against the Victorian team. 'With VYoodfu] and Pousford retired and six others of her best players away to Smith Africa, Victoria lielded a n almost new best eleven, but they proved too go.xl for the visitors. The most successful batsman Rigg, a I'niversity player, has been on the verge of Test cricket for some time. Little Jack Scai]' c has been known in Shofiield Shield cricket fo r \ear s and .is .vill good. Of the newer men. Vernon batted well, Plant excelled with both bat :»id ball, and in Gregory Victoria seems to have lonial an effective tricky bowler. Read, who was heralded as England's new express bowler. s o far has been; more successful in adding to his collect tion „f duck-eggs than to his tally <-,f wickets. Otliei.s in the team who '.ink: high i n England have hardly played up to reputaiion. P, i chard son \ s team has started play.
