G. O. ALLEN
A YOUNG EXPRESS BOWLEB,
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) (l'| coived l3t June, noon.) LONDON. 31st May. G. 0. Allen, the young express bowler, has silenced all criticism in regard to his selection for the English trial. .He was always troublesome, and
polished off five of the Australians most sonsationally, tho last threo without the cost of a run. His bowljug was better than on Saturday, and his pace beat the batsmen. Gregory and Everett were also much disturbed by the stumps being scattered seven times during the day at tho nursery end, where the batsmen were often seen patting the wicket. Allen was born at Sydney, but came to England in his boyhood. He is a real Cotter, but less sturdy. A special cricket writer of the "Daily Telegraph"'says that the only real surprise in the England team is the selection of G. O. Allen (Middlesex), He recalls . Allen's memorable bowling in tho 'Varsity match in 1922. He adds: "The team includes six or seven great batsmen, and three others who can score. Practically every member of the team is a ilrse-rate field."
