team selected. Personally, I wat
I would like to volco my opinion regarding, the action of the selectora in including Sayer in the side without oven a trial. It is gon. erally understood by the
by thone who go in for these trials that those who put up will be given but now it seems that play- the committeo deem fit, hence, some are chosen on their reputation with no regard to form. It this is the attitude to be adopted, I would suggest that Interport trials be dispensed with in future.
