Several changes havo been in ado in tho team. Strieker, Pcarse, Commaillc, Sinclair, and llathorn have boon dropped. Strieker and Sinclair showed very fair form on tour in Australia, and their omission may cause same surprise. They are, replaced bv Tancred, Hartigan. Beaumont, Kotzo, White, Taylor, and Carter, I'ancred was the batting success of tho tram which toured England in 19M, heading tho aggregate list with 1217 runs, at an avcrago of 41.96 per innings. White could not make tho trip to Australia for business reasons, but ho was regarded before that tour a 6 the rival of Faulkner as an all-round player—a dashing bat. a googlie bowler, and a safo field at cover. Kotze wan accounted tho fastest bowler of the world when he went to in 190-1, and it was his terrific pace which made,him tho success of tlift toam as a bowler. Ho did a hugs amount of work, but lie is physically strong and tireless. In 1907, wlion he went to England again, the English critics all said thai ho had lost paco, but that season tho wickets wore wet. Taylor, who plays for Natal, is a good bat. and Jlartigan is a very fair all-round man. Carter is a Transvaal bowler with no international record of consequence. • Beaumont is unknown, but ho is probably the Bams who has some reputation as a wieket-kccpor, t If.HO, Jio is no doubt intended' to' iindnretudy Sherwell,
