He's still the country's
best all-rounder
On the day the Australians started their tour at Worcester, the three most significant events in England's young cricket season gecurred at Edgbaston, Cambridge and Lord's,
At Edgbaston, it was Trevor Bailey's not out century; at Cambridge, it was Peter May's finding touch with a useful 68; and at Lord's it was the important but almost unnoticed gesture of MCC in playing Harold Rhodes and David White the two bright young men who were no-balled for throwing last year.

Threat of wholesale unemployment ahead By ARCHIE QUICK
