ENGLISH TEST SELECTION

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN PERSONNEL STRONGER BOWLING AND BATTING From the Special Correspondent of the Tress Association LONDON, July 15. England’s team for the second test against New Zealand, commencing at Manchester on Saturday, July 24, will be chosen from the following:— R. W. V. Robins (Middlesex), captain W. R. Hammond (Gloucestershire). C. J. Barnett (Gloucestershire). L. Hutton (Yorkshire) E Paynter (Lancashire). J. Hardstaff (Nottinghamshire) L. E. Ames (Kent). J. Smith (Middlesex) J. H. Parks (Sussex) F. R. Brown (Surrey). A. W. Wellard (Somerset) T. W. Goddard (Gloucestershire) K. Fames, of Essex, the fast bowler, is again not available owing to scholast: duties. Of the English eleven which played in the first test, Voce, Verity and Gover have been omitted. New men in the twelve named above are: Smith, a fast bowler, six feet five inches in height; Wellard, a great hitter and fast-medium bowler; Goddard, the Gloucester veteran, thirty-seven years of age, a medium-paced off-spin-ner, very dangerous on wet wickets; and Brown.

Playing for Gloucestershire against New Zealand last week, Goddard took four for 96 and two for 32. Then on Wednesday last he took two for 10 for the Players against the Gentlemen at Lord’s, while Wellard took four for 62 and Smith two for 43.

STRONGER TEAM CHOSEN SOME INTERESTING NOTES ON PLAYERS United Press Association —Bv ellectrlr Telegraph—Copyright (Received July 17, 12.20 a.m.) LONDON, July 16. For the Manchester test, the English selectors have made obvious attempts to strengthen the attack, and the dropping of Voce, Gower and Verity and by substituting Wellard, Smith, Goddard and Brown. Wellard and Smith are both fine fast medium bowlers, but neither is quite so speedy as the Surrey express Gower or the Kentish schoolmaster, Fames, who is not available for Manchester. Neither Verity or Langridge have been chosen, and England has no left hand bowler. Goddard’s selection ■is a threat to the tourists batting success throughout the tour. They have shown uncertainty In face of well-controlled off spinners. Brown's inclusion comes as a surprise, even after his success for the Gentlemen. He played against New Zealand in 1931 and toured Australia and New Zealand with J. R. Jardine’s team. He has few appearances this season, and was very successful with his legbreaks and googlies against Yorkshire. It is probable that Goddard and Brown will both play if the forecast is for changeable weather. If fine and the wicket hard, it is likely Goddard will be omitted. The selectors show they are satisfied with the batting, by retaining Hutton, Barnett, Hammond. Hardstaff, Paynter, Parks, and Ames. They have strengthened the already strong batting side by including the successful hard hitters, Brown, Wellard and Smith.

The New Zealand team will not be picked until the morning of the match.

Tindall is visiting his wife’s relatives in Ireland. The hardworked Cowie is holidaying in Scotland and Carson is 21 to-day and is celebrating his birthday crossing the border from England to Scotland.
