THE ENGLISH TEAM. AUSTRALIAN COMMENTS. United Press Association- By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) Received 12.10 n.m. to-dav. SYDNEY. August 1. The- consensus of opinion in. official r'rioketing~c>irciles in Australia, is that the team chosen to represent England a. we 11-balanced representative combination'. possibly along thr> lines of safety first. Noble ®a,v.s that the bowling, is not too impressive, but the fielding is good. Gregory is surprised at the omission •of Wool lev. Kiopax says “dig in” seems to be the watclnvrd. Oidfie’d considers it- a. formidable team. Pon-sford is surprised; that J-avdin© is neither captain nor vice-captain, and that Juno and Hallows have been omitted. Mailev says thnt'ATend is the surprise oif the selection, but a pleasing feature is the inclusion of Duckworth and Ames, two good young wicketkeepers. Hammond wil) probably create more Interest than anybody.
