A SELECTION CRITICISED. LONDON. Aug. 26. The Daily Chronicle says the selection of Whysall is an insult to English wicket-keepers. To suggest, as the selectors have, that the wicketkeepers are so bad that not- one is worth selecting, is ludicrous. Whysall was not even reserve wicket-keeper for Nottingham.
