IRONMONGER ALSO
IF WEATHER IS WET YOUTH IN THE SIDE Reed. 10.10 a.m. MELBOURNE, To-day. The test selectors also chose Ironmonger to play in the third test should the weather be wet.
The conditions point to thunderstorms, and the weather clerk says further rain is likely. The papers commend the selection of Bradman and A’.Beckett, who will infuse youth into the team. The Sydney -“Telegraph's” expert deprecates the selectors’ casual treat- ironmonger ment of Kippax and Oldfield, who have not been notified to be in Melbourne for the match. Had it not been for the chairman of the Board of Control, who took the matter into his own hands, and instructed the secretary of the New. South Wales Association to buy Oldfield’s ticket to Melbourne, the famous wicketkeeper might still have been in Sydney awaiting the call from Melbourne. The final team will be selected on Saturday morning.
