"EVERYONE...IS AGREED AS TO THE EXCELLENCE OF THEIR FAST BOWLING (CONSTANTINE, GRIFFITHS, AND FRANCIS)"

"IT WAS THE BEST FAST BOWLING WE'VE SEEN SINCE GREGORY AND MACDONALD WERE HERE WITH THE AUSTRALIANS IN 1921"

"THE PACE OF CONSTANTINE, GRIFFITHS, AND FRANCIS...THEY NEVER SEEMED TO TIRE...

ON L. CONSTANTINE: "A GREAT ALLROUNDER" "SOME OF HIS CATCHES BORDERED ON THE MIRACULOUS" "THERE ARE NO LIMITS WHICH HE MAY NOT ATTAIN" WHO THAT SAW IT WILL NEVER FORGET THAT ONE OF HIS WHEN HE PLAYED BACK A BALL FROM G.O. ALLEN A BALL SO HARD ALONG THE GROUND THAT IT BOUNCED OFF THE PAVILLION RA ILS HIGH IN THE AIR ON TO THE SEATS"

"THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF THE TOUR WAS MOST SATISFACTORY, A PROFIT OF SOMETHING OVER 2,000 POUNDS BEING REALIZED".
