attack regarded as .MOST impressive
(Received August 11, 12.39 a.m.)
SYDNEY, August 10
Cricket writers here agree that the English cricket selectors have done a splendid job, although there is some surprise that A. R. Govei, the Surrey fast bowler, is not included.
The opinion is fairly general that the Englishmen’s attack will be most impressive. In fact, the whole side is better balanced than D. R. Jardine’s four years ago. Don Bradman said: “It is by no means certain which side will win, so strong is the proposition which the Australians will have to meet.” ENGLISH AVERAGES DEMPSTER THIRD ON BATTING LIST
