BRUCE DOOLAND EXPLAINS WHY EXILES CANNOT BE CALLED TO THE OVAL
A surprising number of people have been flattering enough to suggest that if 1, and George Tribe, were recruited into the Australian team for the final Test at the Oval the Aussies might just be able to force a draw in the series. If hard-hitting Cecil Pepper (now in League cricket) were drafted in too, I am assured, it would make the issue certain.
Beyond taking modest leave to doubt these theorists I will make no comment on the playing possibilities. They could be very involved. But 1 think I should explain why no such contingency could possibly arise at least as far as George Tribe and I are enncerned.
That's what Laker did-- Quite put from the fact that to say that felt that the pour | well. un self-respecting maging side groundsman had a pretty rough he tuished with nineteen for 80 would
