The England batting shows no palpable weakness, Brown, Larwood and Tate having scor- ed centuries, and Duckworth and Verity being two typical Northern county players with dogged determination.

Australia, will probably be making their debuts in Test cricket and on the four latter-named players, all of whom are bowlers, a great responsibility is going to be placed.
Judging the batting of the probable sides I have selected below one cannot but feel that England will hold a slight advantage. In the bowling she also has an advantage with a much more varied attack than the "Aussies." The incomparable Don Bradman has failed on six occasions against the M.C.C. team on the present tour, and there is every reason to believe that England will register a win in this the first Test of a series of five,
