LITTLE REVEALED ALLEN AS A CAPTAIN LONDON June 19. Critics agree that the Test, fual ended in an honourable but somewhat barren draw and did not reveal much to assist the selectors. To-day’s highlight wa.-. Turnbull’s, quick-footed and impressive innings. Allen, although inccnspieious in batting or bowling, revealed sound generalship and his selection has been announced for the captaincy of the English team in the first Test against India. His performance in that match will undoubtedly influence hi? chances for the captaincy cf the team for the Australian tour.
