“EMPEROR” BRADMAN
CHANCE FOR A HERO LONDON, May 29. “Bradman is as great a batsman as any who ever lived. The English bowler who dismisses him cheaply will be a national hero,” said Mr. “Plum” Warner, the former captain of England, at Oxford. Mr." Warner says Bradman is like Alexander tho Great, because he has no more worlds to conquer. Ho gives England an excellent chance, of recovering tho Ashes. She has four or live splendid batsmen, ho says, and several promising young howlers. She should make a splendid fight. “Australian cricketers have a strong sense.of discipline, and they keep fit.” Engl and also needs discipline. though not of tho sergeantmajor variety.” Warner considers that too much county cricket ,is played in England and that quality is sacrificed to quantity., making tho selection of tho best England eleven difficult. The restricted choice from five State teams simplifies Australia’s problems. 9he right tvpe of English cricketers should make tho tour, and all should recognise that they are fighting for England.
