BY CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.^ ' (Received Feb. 10, 1.15 p.m.) COLOMBO, Feb. 9. Lord Hawke has arrived here. In an. interview on the question of a professional captaining an English test team, he said that no remarks made by him had been directed against professionals as such. What he had meant was that it would he a bad day for English cricket if no amateur could be found good enough to captain the English side. Lord Hawke added, that it took more than a great cricketer to make a good captain. He did not think that the series of matches between Gentlemen and Players had ever unearthed a great professional skipper. After strongly criticising Parkins effusions in the press, lie said: “Gilligan is a fine sportsman, who has wort wide popularity for himself and for the English in Australia, which is more important than the mere winning of matches. We cannot criticise his methods and tactics from a distance of many thousands of miles, but I would rather England had a sportsman like Gilligan for a captain and have lost than that she should merely have played to win.”
