[London, May 28] Popular attention is focussed on the first test match at Nottingham. Interest is intensified owing to the fact that this is the hundredth contest of the series, England and Australia each having won forty, and nineteen having been drawn. Nottingham is over-crowded with cricket enthusiasts from the most distant parts of the country intent on seeing the game. The recent splendid performances of all the Englishmen, particularly Douglas, who is the captain, have created a feeling of optimism that the mother country will show Australia that the latter is not invincible. Plum Warner is of the opinion that the England eleven is the best that could have been chosen.
