Sir Stanley Jackson, one of the test selectors, interviewed by the Daily Express says: “Voce may yet be included in the test team. The present selection must not be taken as final.” Voce’s non-appearance for Notts against Australia followed the receipt of a mysterious telegram, the origin of which is unknown, which Carr and Voce read, says the Daily Mail. Bradman left the nursing home yesterday and arrived at Langham Hotel looking fit. He refuses to see visitors. Sir Douglas Shields, the Australians’ medical adviser, declines to say whether Bradman was X-rayed.

At M.C.C.’s request Northamptonshire are resting Clark in the coming county match in view of the test match.
