Australian Test Team For England Selected

OLDFIELD OMITTED

Sydney, To-day, There are only four newcomers among the 16 players selected, to represent Australia against England in the Test Cricket series this year in England.

matches in England are time- governed, is one possibility, while the other possibility is C. L. Bad- cock.

Unless one of the new men is capable of opening - to my know- ledge they are happiest at No. 4- two of the three, above-mentioned are almost certain to open.

D. G. Bradman (S.A.), Captain.

C. L. Badcock (S.A.).

*Newcomers.

-Reuter.

The Australian authorities. in keeping with their policy of giving every encouragement to the young- er element, have again obviously sę-| lected their team with an eye to the future.

Thus we find W. J. O'Reilly: the New South Wales stock bowler, at the age of 33, the "Father of the Team." Despite a certain amount of dissatisfaction regarding his management of the team in the last series, Don Bradman, was really the only logical choice for skipper and he will be understudied by the brilliant young Stan McCabe.

fast-medium, Stan McCabe to as- sist him. White and Chipperfield, the former left-handed, are medium paced, Waite and Ward are slow, while Fleetwood-Smith bowls left-handed googlies.

Walker, who has understudied Oldfield behind the sticks on numerous occasions, will probably keep wicket, with Barnett in re-

serve.

A fine well-balanced team which is certain to do all they can to re- tain the "ashes" they had to fight so hard for in the last series.

OLDFIELD OMITTED English crowds will greatly miss that popular personality, wicket- keeper W. A. Oldfield, one of the most brilliant stumpers of all time. He is omitted from an Australian Test Team for the first time since 10.00 the war.

already stated, Australia's policy of looking to the future, evidently weighed against such a step.

The new men are S. Barnes, New. South Wales, AL. Hassett, Vic- toria, E. S. White, New South 10.44 Wales, and M. G-Waite, South Aus- tralia.

PROMISING BATSMEN Barnes and Hassett are batsmen of considerable promise, White left-handed bowler, while Waite is a protege of Clarence Grimmitt, 11.08 and is extremely highly thought of 11.12 by that master, of spin.

As usual Australia' will be well served in the run-getting depart ment. Led by Bradman and Mc- Cabe, there are Badcock, Brown, Chipperfield, Fingleton, Barnes and Hassett, with the exception of the last two, all tried performers in 9.40 -International cricket.
