English Test Players
Need A Rest
Says PETER DITTON
Alec Bedser was the first to go. Who will be the second? That is the question which English cricket fans are asking themselves following the "resting" of the Surrey player from the team which drew with New Zealand in the second Test match at
Lord's.
If Bedser can be dropped from the England team, then Compton, Hutton or Washbrook could just as likely find their mes omitted from future England XP's,
Do not run away with the idea that there is a purge on. The England selectors have not decided on any clean-sweep. It is merely a natural reaction to nearly four years of continuous cricket.
Take a look at Bedser's record | Zealand.

London, July 7. — Worcestershire lost their chance of taking the lead in the County Cricket championship table when they were beaten by Surrey at The Oval with a day to spare. It was Surrey's first championship victory since May 27.
For once The Oval pitch gave bowlers a reasonable chance, Surrey's six remaining wickets falling for only 48 runs this morning-Roland Jenkins. the England leg break bowler, altogether taking seven for 101.
Beginning 87 runs behind. Worcestershire were soon in trouble. Only L. Outschoorn, the Ceylon player, stood up to the bowling, hitting eight fours in a well-earned 50.

- Lancashire had declared at the overnight score. With his key batsmen feeling the effects of the heavy programme, Hadlee departed from his usual batting order, but the failures of Reid and Smith, two of the promoted men, put the New Zen- landers on the defensive, and both Donnelly and Wallace looked tired.
