CRICKET
ENGLAND’S “IF” TEAM.
(Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn—Copyright.) (Received August 10, 10 a.m.) LONDON, August 9. The newspaper “The Field” says: There seems to be general agreement that Marylebone has done very well in the choice of the team but the plain fact is that it is an “If” tejam. If Hobbs does not break down, the absence of any other first' w’icket partner for Sutcliffe will not matter. If Larwood keeps sound, he will be the very man to open with Tate. If there are faster wickets in Australia and Tate regains the skill he lost there, he may once more be the only great bowler of the world. If Freeman succeeds in the third tour after failing in the others, it will be a marvel. If Mead, with the handicap of age and .weight can survive fielding for two or three days, in intense heat, untiring, he will be the very man for number four. If all these things happen, eleven several, we will win the tests. If not, we may have to wait till we do without so many “it's.” ENGLAND v. WEST INDIES. (Australian Press Assn—United Service.) LONDON, August 9. Hendren will replace Jardine, who is unable to play in Saturday’s test match.
