Chapman’s omission is the most surprising feature, which the “Telegraph” attributes to the selector'a desire to give Jardine a chance of proving his mettle. The selectors know all there is to be known about Chapman.

The “News-Chronicle” says: “Everybody will miss Chapman s name. A selector’s task must bo rather difficult and delicate, but some selectors do seem to go out of their way to look for trouble. ’ ’

“The Times” cricketing editor aays: “Notable omissions are Chapman, Robins and Tate. Keeton and Paynter thoroughly deserve their places. Woolley’s selection is interesting. Ap parently Jardine will be England's captain. ’ ’ THE AVERAGES. (Received 13,12.50 p.m.y London, June 12. O’Connor heads the batting averages with 674 runs and an average of 67.40.
