THE TEST MATCH.
SELECTORS' DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Youthful Defenders of the Ashes?
[By "Run Out".} This time next week, weather permitting, the first Test Match. will have entered upon its second phase. The question arises, quite naturally, as to who will defend the mythical. Ashes. Cricket in England la flourishing at the mo- ment, and great strides have been taken since the ravages of war, All this makes the selector's job the more unenviable. He has to pass over men who are literally howling for inclusion. because

If I were a selector should not hesitate with whom I should propose for the opening pair. The Hobbs-Sutcliffe combination has served England in good stead
for
so long that they are cer tainties for the responsible posi- tlon of breaking up the Austra lian attack. Hammond, who scor ed a record aggregate of 905 runs In a rubber with an average of 113.12 during the Inst series in Australia, is also quite above dis. pute.
