EYES ON THE “ASHES.”
CRICKET SELECTORS CRITICISED
Critics of cricket are attacking the selections for the North v. South' test match. They complain that the selectors have not taken the course most likely to provide a team to recover the* “ ashes ” from Australia. They ask why Mann and Carr have been chosen captains and suggest that neither is a likely captain for England, Many people, especially Londoners, de. clare that P. G. Fender (Surrey) is the most inspiring- leader in the country. ,
/Some complain that insufficient youngsters have been selected, but the “semi-official” reply is how is'it'pos* sible to test youngsters unless they are pitted against older players ? Possibly plans wall be modified for the second match, making it England v. The Rest. •
