Herbert, Sydney must be getting a shambles.  We see a lot about Australia in the papers.  Australia is well to the fore in sport now in England here.  But we were all disappointed that the Australians were beaten so easily by the Gentlemen of England.  I go to the Weymouth Daily Paper Offices every night for the latest cricket scores concerning the Australians.  I suppose you have noticed that Kelleway has not been playing lately.  He had a row with the team & he pulled out.  He is a very bad sport.  A mate of mine received a letter from Collins about Kelleway.  He said a lot of things about Kelleway that are not too nice.  I saw the Australians playing against Middlesex & also against Surrey at Lords & Kensington Oval & saw Hobbs make his 205 not out.  I also visited the House of Commons this time too.
