The chief trouble about this alleged search for bowlers is that the cricket-adoring public either entirely ignores, or is blissfully ignorant of, the fact that theso are not Australian Test batsmen that Gover and Verity are getting out and, in fact, are many of them three and four classes below that of Bradman and company.
