THE TEAM FOR HOME

ARMSTRONG TO CAPTAIN THE SIDE. (Received February 26, 9 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. The Board of Control has appointed Armstrong captain and Collins vicecaptain for the English tour, Both, with Pellew, will act as selectors. Kelleway's, successor has not yet been selected.Yesterday was a memorable day in the annals o£ Australian Cricket. Douglas's ir.en, after winning- the tos3, faded out for the paltry, total of 204. • The bowlers, Kellewa-y and Gregory, were always on top of the batsmen, and their latest per-' formance will be another shock to Lord Harris, who in previous yeers has talsea part in Test cricket on the Sydney ground. Kelleway, unfortunately for this Australian Eleven, is unable to visit \ England, which is sincerely regretted by his numerous admirers. J. M. Gregory, is undoubtedly a match, winner, and his fast deliveries proved .too 'good for. the;, Englishmen. *The one bright spot in the batting was F. E. Woolley, the man of Kent, who scored 138 in the recent match with New South Wales. Six of! the team, including Bandren, failed completely, with the result that the Home players lost an excellent oppoxv tunityof compiling a decent first innings score. One theory has been put forward! j that if the Englishmen- won the toss th& ( Australians would be np against a heavy 1 , contract, but this popular theory was shattered in the Fourth Test. Kelleway and Gregory by their splendid bowling! have clinched this argument.
