LARWOOD’S PERFORMANCE PRAISED

Received Wednesday, 8 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 7.

The Daily Telegraph says: “Larwood definitely exploded tho iaca mat the art of really fast bowling has been lost, and his ten wickets rank with historic performances of tho past. Tho moral effect of tho victory is bound to bo great. Australia’s youngsters, however, aro capable of great things and must not be under-rated. O’Reilly's destructive bowling against the last batsmen may bo repeated later against tho English leaders.” The Manchester Guardian, in a leader, says: “England’s carofully conceived plan of campaign, based on shock tactics, has been quickly justified. The Australians will, doubtless, reorganise their resources and kick back, Due sardine’s men have the whip-hand.”

Victory Will Not Make Tourists Over-confident Received Wednesday, 9.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 7. “We are naturally pleased and delighted at having won,” said “Blum" "Warner, tho joint manager of the English cricket team. “We shall certainly not suffer from over-confidence, for tho history of cricket has shown that tho side which wins the first Test is not necessarily the winner of tho rubber. Wo know the grit and courage of tho Australians too well to take them too cheaply in future Tests.” Jardine, tho English captain, said: “We won tho first round of what iooxs liko an interesting series, and I am very proud of my team. I cannot but appreciate tho way tho Australians light to tho bitter end.” Woodfull, the Australian captain, heartily congratulated tho Englishmen on a well-deserved and decisive win.

Six of Australians Fitted to Carry On

ENGLISH VICTORY A3CRIBED TO LARWOOD. SYDNEY, Wednesday. Tho morning papers nrge the selectors to choose new men for the second Test —men who have tho courage and ability to stand up to fast bowling. Tho Daily Telegraph’s cricket writer says that only six of the present team should he included in the next: McCabe, Fingleton, Richardson, Wall, O’Reilly and Oldfield. Even the pilot, Woodfull, should be thrown overboard. Ha did not look like getting runs at any stage In either innings. O’Brien, Nitschke, Oxenham and Herd are suggested for tho second Test by several critics. It is generally agreed that England’s victory is due to Larwood’s great bowling. At the same time, Australian batsmen revealed very poor form.

Old Reliables Scared by Larwood COLLAPSE NOT ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED Received Wednesday, 11.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 7. The Sydney Sun, in commenting on the Test, says that the Australian batting collapse was not entirely unexpected after what happened in the earlier matches. ‘‘Larwood bestrode our narrow world like a Colossus. Ho was a killer; ho simply scared the old aaiiahlaa away from _ f-hfi wink.fi>ta. hut

McCabe, filled with the confidence of youth, was untroubled by tho defeatist policy and showed that it was possible to bang both Larwood and Voco to the railings, and saved his side from utter ignominy.”
