WITH spin bowlers coming into their own under the ltered Lb.w. rule, the claims of A. P. (Tich) Freeman as a player of Test quality seem stronger than ever.

But whether he finds. favour or Knot, he will in the judgment of Mr. EL Roberts, chronicler of cricket statistics, stand forever as a wor- derful exponent of sustained- and consistent bowling.

(By "Cricketer")

FTER having been well and truly beaten by

Australia in Test cricket, England is now fac-- ed with a touring party of young South African players who are just as likely to inflict defeats as the Australians did. The English Selectors, how- ever, have done as well as they could without the services of Larwood and Voce and should, every- thing being even, South Africa win the first Test, which opens at Trent Bridge to-day, England's doom is likely to be sealed for this rubber.

The batting of the Mother Country is formidable to say the least, though it must be remembered that "Mitchell-Innes, who scored 168 against the tourists earlier in the season, is making his first Test appearance; his reaction will be most interesting. D. Smith is in the same category.

Wyatt is likely to drop lan Peebles from the twelve select- ed and this will present an attack consisting of two fast bowlers, Bowes and Nichols, a medium fast in Hammond, a medium paced bowler in Wyatt and three slow bowlers in Verity, Bobins, and Leyland. It is a well varied attack, but a great deal is likely to depend on the two fast bowlers and Verity.

The South Africans, with a very sound baffing side and two opening bowlers ranked better than Wall and Ebeling, the Aus- tralians, are going to prove a big handful, but England should just manage it
