ENGLAND'S TEAM CHANGES.
MEN FOR FOURTH TEST.
A. W. CARR DISPLACES J. C. WHITE.
(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.}
LONDON, July 20, England's cricket selectors have chosen the team for the Fourth Test Mate against South Africa, over three days at Manchester, beginning on July 27, as follows:-
A. W. Carr (Notts), captain,
R. E. S. Wyatt (Warwickshire),
H. Sutclife (Yorkshire).
E. H. Bowley (Sussex),
W. R. Hammond (Gloucester).
F. E. Woolley (Kent),
M. Leyland (Yorkshire).
A. P. Freeman (Kent),
M. W. Tate (Sussex),
3. Duckworth (Lanenehire),
G. Geary (Leicestershire),
E. Hendren (Middlesex) 12th man. J. B. Hobbs (Surrey) was select. ed but he informed the Committee that he did not feel justified in awepting and asked to be allowed to stand down.
Akn
There are no surprises or cxperi- ments about the above team. Mr. J. C. White, Somerset's most sports ing captain, has stood down from the captaincy and in succeeded by Mr. A. W. Carr. Mr. White has not met with any special success in the gaunts against South Africa and with Tigh Freeman at the top of his form and very useful slow bowlers in Woolley and Bowley he no doubt felt that the substitution ely a sound and vigorous bateman like Mr. Carr would strengthen the side. Mr. Carr is a forceful and adventurous leader not afraid to take risks and he has well earned the honour of captaining England. He has admirable team, the only weakness being the absence of a fast bowler. Larwood, however, is in need of a rest, and Geary, one of the best howlers in the country, takes his place. The nt tack will mainly depend on Tate, Geary and Freeman, with Han nond, Woolley, Leyland and Bowley! able to take turn. It is essen- tially a mature team but there can be no doubt about the solid achieve ments of all the playere concerned. It looks as if Bowley is going to consolidate his place as England's opening batsman in partnership with. Sutcliffe. The somewhat era tie nature of the Sussex batting had long ago taught Bowley the first essential of the Test player. imperturbability when everyone else is fastered!
