ENGLAND'S CAPTAIN.
SELECTION CRITICISED. (Received 0 a.m.) LONDON, June 12. "I suppose the selectors are thinking really more about 1932 than about the New Zealanders," writes M. D. Lyon in the "Daily Mail," criticising D. JR. Jardinc's selection. "Has Jardhie the personality for a Test captain?" askLyon. "He is quiet, cool and determined, but uninspiring. It is doubtful whether he would get a hundred per cent value from the field, and also whether the selectors are justified in living him the captaincy in a three-day Test, when obviously all they have m mind is to find a captain for Australia. It is of great psychological importance to England to beat New Zealand decisively. 0 I query if Jardine is the man to do it."
