F b o m th e Sydney M a il: — Taking every man we have had at his highest standard, we never had another Trumper. Our old friend W. L. Murdoch is a marvel for the years he has been before the public. He has played a grand series of innings, and even at his present age, and on howler’s wickets, he is still showing brilliant cricket. But in his best day he was not the equal of Trumper as he is now. Trumper may not last as long as “ W. L.,” but taking each at his best, great opinion as I have of the ex-Australian, I doubt if he had the strokes, the finish, or the dash of the young New South Walian. In saying the above X am placing an extraordinarily high value upon Trumper’s skill, for Murdoch is one of the best batsmen the world has produced.
