SECOND TEST TEAM
AUSTRALIAN SELECTION COMMENT IN ENGLAND (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 2.5 p.m. LONDON, Thursday. The critics point out that Australia’s possible second test team shows that the selectors are not in a panic, and they somewhat dolefully record that Australia more than once has reversed an initial defeat with virtually the same team. One or- two writers contrast the Australian calmness with the English selectors’ panic in 1921, when no lewer than 30 players were drawn on. Clem Hill, in the "Daily Telegraph” says the selectors have done well. The 13 players named are practically the best available. Nothling apparently is not thought class enough, but he will eventually force his way into the team.
"I do not think there is a great deal ot difference between the two sides. Perhaps it is just a little in favour of England. If the Australians win the toss and play tight for a few overs, they are going to make big scores.”
