A TEAM TO MAKE THE AUSSIES QUAIL.
BY SINBAD. Let me my contribution make, to those who seek to find a way, for Britain Ashes to re-take, from Aussie's touring there to-day. The tests will very soon begin, and Englishmen a licking dread, so all the fools are rushing in, where mere selectors fear to tread. Each critic butts in with his scheme, and shows what England ought to do, but I have picked a novel team, which I will now explain to you. The Chancellor in it must be, to win the match by rule of law, and keeping wickets we shall see, the bulky form of Bernard Shaw. The modern British girl will bowl, for some declare she's very fast, and Baldwin, if the wars in coal permit will go in second last. George Robey and Lord Birkenhead, Miss Ethel Dell and Ramsay Mac, the Aussies all are bound to dread, and surely they’ll knock Collins back. Add Yeats and Wells the bat to wield, and then to make secure the match, we’ll pick the Prince of Wales to field, for surely he’s the ■season’s catch.
