Clem Hill, ia his. fourth arliclc. explains that Kelloway’s omission frnni vhe Australian cricket team was due solely lo the fact that he is a weal: slip field, “iu fact he is a poor field in any position.” Hill says il was necessary to find a first slip lipid for Gregory, and the choice rested between .Hendry and Kcllewav. lie believes that Hendry, next to Gregory himself, is the best man ill this position. Because of Ibis, together with the fact that Ryder was another howler of Kelleway’s class, the latter was omitted. Mill regards Andrews as the world’s host cov-r point, closely followed by A . Richardson, who is unknown in miss catches, but was necessarily omitted in order to include a fast, howler to support amt relieve Gregory. Hendry and Taylor are easily the best oullieids. Bonsford will have lo quicken up. Viewing the situat ion as a whole 11 ill regards Australia’s outlielding as ilm weakest spot.
