COLIN COWDREY IS MY TIP FOR THE NEXT AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Says DENIS COMPTON
THE CHINA MAIL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1953,
50 MEN & A GIRL
The two innings by Colin Cowdrey when the Australian attack was at its most hostile against the Gentlemen of England at Lord's pro- vided the final proof for me that next year's Oxford University captain is already on the fringe of Test honours.
