Georgetown, Mar. 6.
Jim Parks, the Sussex wicketkeeper-batsman, arrived here by air early
this morning to join the MCC team.
Parks, who has been coaching in Trinidad, was standing by since Poter May's illness was disclosed on Friday and was asked to join the team late last night when Ken Barrington's attack of influenza developed into asthmatic bronchitis.
Barrington is now in a nurs→ ing home, and though his doctor thinks he has a "fair chance" of playing in Wednesday's fourth Test against the West Indies, it is thought that unless the Sur- rey batsman is up and about by tomorrow he would be too wenk to last out a six-day Test.
Parks had a training run to- day and will have practice in the nets tomorrow. He is de- finitely available for selection in the vital fourth Test. England leeds 1-0 in the five-match series, with two Tests drawn.
