England's cricket praised by South Africa TuNNT cricket was paid today by the South Africans before they left for home from London Airport at the end of their tour during which they won the rubber of three Teets and earned a profit of Peter Van de Merwe, the South African captain.

said: "England's approach to their task in the final innings of the last Test at The Oval revealed a fine fighting spirit and augurs well for their forthcoming tour of Australia." POSITIVE APPROACH Mr. Jack Plimsoll, the South African team manager. said: "The success of our team stemmed from their positive attacking cricket. "I am the more pleased because our triumph in the series was accomplished with the type of cricket which had given much pleasure to the English public." Van der Merwe, commenting on the grounds on which they played. declared that they were generally good, but attacking batsmen, like Bland, had at first found the ball coming off the pitch too slowly.

Dedicatuon in applying to the problem eventually brought reward for his players. The shorter half-season tour was favoured by both the South African captain and the manager by the players for whom it meant less time away from then homes and work.
