Critics stress the youth of tno Test team, of whbeh Sutcliffe is easily the father, the average age being twentyThe News-Chronicle says the selectors are wise in trying out youthful players on whom England must rely for future laurels, and the sooner they gain the necessary experience the betN. J. Henley, in the Mail, welcomes d the inclusion of Bakewell and Arnold, 1- one of whom presumably opens with 0 Sutcliffe. Tho bowling is particus larly strong. Jardine’s choice ha? II been criticised on tho ground of lack of experience, but history shows that captains are born, not made. The Time? says the selectors have chosen a team which recognises the indisputable claims of both ago ano youth. A richer blending of experience and promise could not be made. Duckworth is unlucky in having been passed over. Robins' inclusion is welcome, but despite his bad season, Leyland’s omission seems hard. The sen- lectors, unable to chose between Bake)f well and Arnold, sensibly included :o both. It is a representative side with t- big hopes for tho future. h WILL TEST N.Z.

A WELLINGTON OFIJNiuiN BIG OCCASION FOR YOUTHS [Per Press Association. 1 WELLINGTON, June 22. “It is a great side and will test our ' players right up to tho hilt,” remarked Mr W. 8. Briee, chairman of tho New Zealand cricket selection committee, discussing the selection ot tho English team. “If they make a decent showing against this side it Is about all wo can expect of our players. At any rate I will bo quite satisfied if they put up a good showing.” Mr Brice considered the side rnus» bo good when such players as Tats and Woolley could bo left out. He was particularly surprised at the omission of Woolley, who is well worthy of a place. Then there is Hobbs, but in his case it now seemed evident that ho is not going to play any more Test cricket. “I think Freeman might have troubled our men. lam pleased to see him left out. I think ho would have troubled us more than the other bowlers of his type,” continued Mr Brice. “Tyldesley, of Lancashire, would also probably be an effective bowler against us. Tho English selectors, however, are looking for young players for Australia, and they are giving tho young batsmen and bowlers a chance to prove their worth on this occasion without putting too many, in the side. They have experienced men there as well as young players, and it looks a pretty hot side.” The opinion that there should have been more than one Test was also expressed by Mr Brice, who pointed out that in some cases young players needed experience of one Test to make them right for tho next. Tho playing of one Test was making tho occasion a very big one for the young players. NEW ZEALANDERS’ TOUR PETERBOROUGH MATCH THREE WICKETS FALL Received Juno 23, 1.5 a.m. PETERBOROUGH, . uno 22.
