ENGLAND’S TEAM.

PLAYERS FOR FINAL TEST MATCH. CHAPMAN NOT INCLUDED. WYATT CAPTAIN. United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. LONDON, August 12. Late in the evening, the selectc.j invited the following fourteen players to be in attendance at the Oval on Saturday for the fifth Test:—B. E. S. Wyatt (Warwickshire), captain; K. S. Duleepsinhji (Sussex), J. B. Hobbs'(Surrey), H. Sutcliffe (Yorkshire), W. W. Whysall (Notts), W. R. Hammond (Gloucestershire), M. Leyland (Yorkshire), E. Hendren (Middlesex), C. W. L. Parker (Gloucestershire), M. W. Tate (Sussex), H. Larwood (Notts), G. Duckworth (Lancashire), I. A. B. Peebles (Middlesex), L. Ames (Kent). (Wyatt, who was appointed this year captain of Warwickshire, did well in India in 1924 playing for the English team, and next year played in all five Test matches in South Africa.) VERY DISAPPOINTED. CHAPMAN INTERVIEWED. LONDON, August 12. Chapman, interviewed by the “Daily Mail,” said: “I am most disappointed at not having the opportunity of leading England in the decisive Test.” He cited his Test record in Australia and England, and eannot understand why he has been withdrawn. “If the real reason,” he stated, “is that England’s batting needs strengthening, it is a matter for regret. My average in the present series of Tests is only 44. I think England has a good chance of retaining the Ashes. With all my heart I wish Wyatt and his team full and complete success.” WARNER’S VIEWS. SELECTOR’S DIFFICULT TASK. (Received Wednesday, 9.15 p.m.) LONDON, August 13. P. F. Warner, in the “Morning Post,” says the selectors carried out a difficult task with care and foresight. All will pay a tribute to the great services Chapman has rendered to English cricket. Wyatt is one of the keenest cricketers and is a very sound, cool and determined batsman. Carr, interviewed, said the team was the best ever picked to represent England. Jack Hobbs was bound to help Wyatt out. Whysall would be one of the hardest men to get out. BATTING PRACTICE.
