A t the beginning of their tour the Australians learned a lesson at Leyton, and soon afterwards showed that they knew how to make practical use of it. In the England match at Nottingham they had another lesson, and it may be taken for granted, such is their adapta­ bility, that they will not forget it. By taking so long to make their runs in the first innings they threw away their chances of winning, but they are not likely to make the same mistake again. A drawn game does them no good at all. In Australia a match on a good wicket is hardly ever finished in less than four days, and it is quite certain that, if a match in England is to be finished in three days, the rate of scoring must be higher per minute. T h e result of the big match at Not­ tingham has once more reopened the question as to whether it would not be better to devote a week to the England v. Australia matches. But apart from the inconvenience of this in England, it would inevitably tend to make the cricket very monotonous. The remedy would be to score faster in three-day matches, but whether this could be done is quite another story. One thing cannot be overlooked—viz., that while to the home team it does not greatly matter if a game is drawn, to a touring team it matters very much. In last week’s Gossip I mentioned that G. L. Wilson had made 80 in one of the last Pennant matches of the season, besides taking seven wickets for 44. X find that on the folowing Saturday, in his second innings, he made 74 not out in a total of 159 for three wickets. CRICKET BALLS, A -.W .’b “ S p e c ia l,1 8,11 each, 44/- doz.
