First of all, however. It is neces- sary to have a look at the form of the New Zealanders, for this will enable our selectors to decide whether English youth shall have its fling.
The Tourists have done nothing out of the ordinary and probably disappointed themselves as much as anyone else, so far, but there is danger in under-estimating them. Like most touring sides, they ke the sun. and they did not have to much of it in their first matches.
That they have some good bats- men admits of no doubt, and so far as I have seen them, Carson, Page. Wallace, Hadlee and Tindili strike me as being likely to do well when they run into their best form.
