WHO WILL CAPTAIN ENGLAND AGAINST THE AUSTRALIANS?
Interesting Attitude Towards Hammond

London, Feb. 14. Coming from a former England Test cricket captain, it meant a lot. Said R. W. V. Robins: "No cricketer would object to be ing led by such a great player as Wally Hammond.”
Others retoried it would be un- wise to make an ex-professional captain; unfair to expect amateurs like Robins and Allen to serve under
