FINE CRICKETERS
Yet it was always clear that they had much fine cricket in them. Their batting was often gay, but undisciplined. It was a spontaneous expression of the joy of cricket, not studied, cal- culated craftsmanship.

Continuous cricket right through the season, with matches generally extended to three days, was new to the majority of them. They were club players opposing men to whom cricket is a life's work. Their skill was shackled by their lack of ex- perience in long-drawn-out games.

Most of the players who were here in 1933 will be available. At the head of them stands G. Headley, that little man of colour with a aquirrel's quickness, a hawk's eye. and a splendid technique, à World's batsman-as distinct from a Test- match bataman; E. A.
