FOR AUSTRALIA
M.C.C. SELECTIONS
TEAM NEARLY COMPLETE
(Received August 10, 10 a.m.)
LONDON, August 9.
The M.C.C. announces the following additional invitations for the Australian tour:—E. R. T. Holmes (Surrey), K. Fames (Essex), C. J. Barnett (Gloucestershire), J. M. Sims (Middlesex), W. Voce (Nottinghamshire).
An additional wicket-keeper will be announced later.
SURPRISINGLY GOOD.
The cricket writer of "The Times," commenting on the M.C.C. players for Australia, says: "Generally speaking, it is surprising what a good side has been evolved from what seemed to be precious poor material earlier in the season. They will certainly do welL Fames and Voce are the most welcome choices, as they are the men to stand up to hard work. It is splendid to see Voce again in an English team, and to feel that much of the unpleasant nonsense stirred up two years ago has been cleared up and forgotten. It is all the greater pity that his comrade in many great bowling performances has not been included."
The players previously selected were G. O. Allen (Middlesex), captain; R. W. V. Robins (Middlesex), W. R. Hammond (Gloucestershire), M. Leyland (Yorkshire), H. Verity (Yorkshire), L. B. Fishlock (Surrey), and J. Hardstaff (Nottinghamshire), G. Duckworth (Lancashire), T. S. Worthington (Derbyshire), W. Copson (Derbyshire), and A. Fagg (Kent).
