FIFTH TEST.
READER SELECTS XI FOR ENGLAND.

To the Edigy of the "Chini Mail"] Sin-An argument arose Inst night over the prospects of the last test match this month (start- ing at the Oval on August 14.- Editor). My contention is that the playing of this game to a finish irrespective of time will benefit the Australians. I think that this decision will be in their favour as they are so used to slow cricket. Not being confirmed patballers, our team may not have the patience to wait hence the disadvantage. I will highly appreciate what other readers may have to say on the subject.

Rain must have interfered with the county' cricket programme at Home as several matches were left unfinished.
The weather benefitted the batamen in some cases while bowlers came off with astonishing
figures in others.
Some of the England team were again to the fore, to mention only Sutcliffe, Tate, Larwood. A good names of "youngsters" many figure prominently, while a few all-rounders also did well.
