THE selection of an England team capable of beating the South Africans has not proved likely. The so simple as at first appeared tourists are far stronger than most people realise, and, besides choosing an England eleven capable of regaining her cricket prestige, the Selectors have always had to bear in mind that the conquering team, if there is to be one, would be the nucleus of the side to visit Australia în 1936-37 in an effort to regain the Ashes.

Now, one down and two to go, the Se'ectors have dropped Sutcliffe. 42-year-old Test campaigner, and have recalled Man- rice Tate, who is 40 Their encouragement of youth by the choice of Robins, Barber, Mitchell Bowes, Smith and Hardstaffe is, however. commendable.

To-day's match at Old Trafford will be a close one as both teams have spin bowlers who can take advantage of the usual- ly heavy wicket at Manchester. Robins should be included, and it looks very much as if Clay and Leyland may be passed over in the England team, which is likely to be a better balanced side than the last one.
