Our Young Players

Why this should be so it is 6-3 hard to say. Young cricketers like Washbrook and Hutton have been heralded as the natural successors to the Old Guard, but somehow they do not fully consolidate their positions. They are still promis- ing, and it may be that this sum- mer they and others like them, with proper encouragement, will step into their kingdom.

There is Oldfeld, of Lancashire, for example, a 25-year-old batsman who played a remarkably fine in- A. F. Paal nings against Surrey last season.

(Not yet completed)

There is Hardstaff, of Notting- hamshire, who did extremely well during the recent M.C.C. tour of Australia and New Zealand. There is N. S. Mitchell-Innes, the Oxford captain, plagued by hay-fever last season, but potentially a great batsman. Mitchell, of Yorkshire, Todd and Fagg, of Kent, Smith, of Derbyshire, and bowlers like Copson, of Derbyshire, said to be fit again, and Pollard, of Lanca- shire-there are other young players who should give us hope for the future.
