ENGLAND’S SECOND TEST TEAM

FURTHER PLAYERS CHOSEN,

LONDON, June 19.

A. C. Geary, M. S. Nichols (Essex), and C. J. Barnett (Gloucester) have also been selected, making 13 in all from whom the final 11 will be chosen on the morning of the match.

COVER ALSO INVITEDLONDON, June 20. (Received June 20, at 8.30 pan.) The Sketch says that A. R. Gover (Surrey) has also been invited to Lord’s. CRITICS GENERALLY PLEASED. LONDON, June 20. (Received June 20, at 5.5 p.m.) . Critics are generally pleased with England’s thirteen and Wyatt’s inclusion. Some urge that three fast bowlers should be played. The Australian Press Association says: “Assuming that Wyatt is fit to do himself justice, England’s team will be stronger than in the first test .in batting, but unless Parties and Bowes play, which seems probable, in view of the. agitation for strengthening the speed of the attack, the bowling will,not be much stronger. On Australian form Bowes would not greatly trouble the Australians, but he is a different proposition on English wickets. There is still some question of Nichols’s fjtness It is a sign of the recognition of the need of more aggressive batting that Barnett, a strong, forcing player, lias been included. There have been numerous advocates for the recalling of Woolley, but on the whole the selectors, have done well, refusing to be stampeded into sweeping changes.” D. R. Jardine, in the Evening Standard, says: “Without Larwood I cannot imagine any tendency to overrate our chances against Woodfnll’s very workmanlike team. We may have seen the best of Australia’s bowling, but I doubt if we have seen the best of her batting.” The Daily Mail says: “The selectors have done their work well. They have learned the obvious lesson that more fast bowling is required, and the issue may well depend on who wins the toss.” The Times cricketing writer says: “It is not 'an injustice to Walters to say that. Wyatt’s captaincy will be a great advantage, because of his greater knowledge of the Australians and their habits. If the English’ players only discard some of the hesitancy they showed at Nottingham, we can beat the Australians.”
