WYATT COMMENTS ON TEST SIDES (United Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, 23rd April. “I believe that the Australian selectors erred in omitting a first-class orthodox left-arm bowler,” says Wyatt, writing in the “Sketch.” Hornibrook’s absence may be seriously regretted. The team should be a strong batting one to No. 7, but after that there is a distinct tail unless they field a very weak bowling side. On the other hand the English fast attack, even with Larwood, will not be ,ns deadly as it was on Australian shirtfront wickets.”
