AUSTRALIAN CRICKET.

, PROMISING YOUNG PLAYERS. * ' PROBABLE INCLUSION. IN TEAM FOR ENGLAND. V (Special to Dailt Times.) •• - „ , AUCKLAND, May 6.. . Australia e greatest TOed; when the time comes to send the next Australian team home ' to'England. will , be yonnir players of class.” This was the opinion expressed this morning by Mr Arthur Mailey, the well-known Australian cricketer, who is likewise welt known as a cricket writer and a black-and-white artist. • Last season Mr Mailey did hot Play in big cricket, but he followed the games against the English team closely as a critic. . ‘ . He said that the best , feature from an point of view was tlm successoi tn e colts Bradman, Jackson, and Wall who were all-likely, to-be chosen -when tne next touring Australian team was selected. In a lean period when the great need was bowlers of class. Wall was a distinct find as a, promising fast bowler. He was s qui*te fast with au action gvntly reminiscent of M'Donald, and probably he would train on to fill the,gap, which was left by the retirement of Gregory from first-class cricket. ' . Mr . Mailey said that although diverse in style as batsmen. Bradman and Jackson had proved themselves of the right temperament for big occasions and much, was hoped of them. He considers that tli e . next Australian team should bechosen by two selectors and the captain, and that ‘ on an English tbiip the sending of a treasurer in addition to a manager would be unnecessary. He considered that it woulo be better to send an extra plaver, preferably one with some financial experience. The amount of £6OO proposed as the remuneration 'of players was, be considered, little enough, Mr Mailey is on his way to Vancouver 1 on a health trip.
