Sydney, December 6. '■ It is rumoured that the conduct of several members of the Australian cricket team that recently toured England was extremely bad. The Sun newspaper alleges that the team as a whole was compelled to suffer for the delinquencies of a few members, and that to all intents and purposes it was socially ostracised.
The Sun adds that the report of Mr. Crouch, the manager, will be considered by the Board of Control in a few days. It also says that Mr. Crouch states that while the conduct of the team as a whole called for nothing but complimentary comment, the misdeeds of a few members were such as to induce him to ask the board to consider whether the selectors in future should not consider something else besides playing ability when selecting a team. The report does not mention namss.
