This may have been said joking- ly, but it is obvious to any one who studied form during the M.C.C. tour of 1932-3, that when thei Australians arrive in England in April 1934 we may see several new faces and several familiar ones missing! writes F. R. Brown, Surrey and England cricketer, in the "Evening News."

Bill Woodfull, their popular -caplain, is, I know, very keen to bring the side next year, but he is getting slow on his feet, though his defensive powers and patience have not diminished in the least degree! In his absence Vie Richardson would be asked to lead the team, and a very inspiring leader he would be, with his magnificent fielding anywhere and forcing bat- ting to inspire his men.
