Press Asaociatioil-By Telegraph-Copyright ■ LONDON, Feb. LB. Tbe "Times" regrets Hill's nlueiico from the team, but says that Ruusford raid Bardsley are some compensation. Die hatting is exceptionally strong, hut the bowling weak. Noble will prove ah admirable captain. "Sporting Eile" savs that the howling is doubtful. A. O. Jones, writing in the "Daily Mai)," says he is greatly disappointed with the choice o£ the remaining six. It is strange that the other selectors havp gone against Hill's superior judgment, and perhaps the . fact that McAlister is on the selection committee had something to do with 'liis selection. The batting is strong, but the bowling, weak. The redeeming feature of the team is its fielding.
