All the team are Australlan born. In the Australian team of 1926, of which the average age was 38, W. Bardsley (then aged 44) was the senior member.

Even the most severe and pre- judiced of critics realises how difficult and delicate is the selectio of a cricket team to represent a great country.

The Australian team suggests exceptional batting strength, but, judging by the runs scored against the bowlers of the combination on their home wickets this season, the attack is below the old Australian standarda.

There are, it is true, bowlers of many styles-the pace, of Wall, the googlies of Grimmett, the swing deliveries of several others.

But the Australians themselves have admitted that men of the highest class are abgent. No one has that spark of genius which marked Macdonald and Gregory as fast bowlers, nor the guile and par sonality of Armstrong-te mention only three of those who scared zo many British batsmen when Aus- tralia last won a Test-biatch "rub- ber."

It is because of the limitations of the howling that the matter of captaincy assumes such big pro- Subtle manoeuvring is portions. necessary to make the best of bow- Burlers who are not themselves cap- able of inspiration.....

It is not prising, then, to find that the Afteen players chosen for Australia have not given general satisfaction to Australians themselves

And even to British eyes the omission of J. S. Ryder comes as a eurprise, for he knows British players and British wickets, and, although he was on the losing side. his captaincy in the Test matches against the M.CA. team in 1928-29 was generally agreed to be sound.

And Woodfull's batting scarcely suggests that he is a man of rich Imagination. The Test matches may well be lost and ivon by cap- taincy.

But, whether they Win or lose, the Australian team are bound to be interesting-no matter their pace of scoring.

There are so many players now to us.

None the less, we may be sure We have heard so much of the big that there was good reason for the boy cricketers, and the men of dis- selection as captain of W. M. Wood-tinctly, individual styles. Especial- | full.

Wall, who hurls the ball down for half a day without tiring: VRicharinho has been described as the finest all-round fieldsman of his generation; A. Jackson, of the beautiful style; and A; Kippax, of the many strokes and the dancing feat.

Woodfull, W. A. Oldfield, W. H. Ponsford, and C. V. Grimmett are the only four of the chosen fifteen that have been seen in Britain; and the claims of youth have been fully recognised.

Several of the team, indeed, are in the early twenties; but the young men of Australia have some times proved the big successes of
