SELECTORS THINK SO

By BRUCE DOOLAND

How should a Test player be picked? On form? Or on reputation as n "quality" player? That was the question which set arguments buzzing, round the cricket pavilions of the country when the name of the Reverend David Sheppard was included in the England team for the Fourth Test at Manchester.

Make no mistake about it — David Sheppard is the "quality" player in the question. And I suppose you might include Alan Wharton and Doug Insole as the current form boys. David was picked from near retirement; Wharton, leading open- ing batsman of the season, was ignored and the other was thrown out after only a one Innings trial.
