BEST SINCE IRONMONGER

While probably not in the class of such men as Gregory and McDonald, McCormick is said to be considerably better than any other fast bowler im Australia. To-day he works with the Melbourne Fire Brigade.

White, of New South Wales,, 26 years old, and tall, is an orthodox left-handed bowler of something like medium pace a somewhat rare gift from Australia.

He is said by some to be the best since Ironmonger. He can spin the ball well, and, with Verity, will be hoping for a wet season.

Barnett and Walker, the wicket- keepers, may be taken jointly. Both have previously toured England. Barnett is the better bat, but my recollection is that Waker is cap- able of the more brilliant perform- ance as a stumper.

He lacks the subtlety and var- iety of the old master, and has yet to achieve that mesmerism which Grimmett seemed to exercise on English batsmen in Tests; but be may yet prove a valuable assistant to "O'Reilly.

BRILLIANT FIELDER

Waite, of South Australia, is a capable all-rounder-one of the best, indeed, in South Australia: As a batsman he has enterprise and a fae style. As a slow leg-break bowler he has suffered through be ing in the same side as Grimmett, although he did the hat-trick against Holmes M.C.C. team. As a fieldaman he is brilliant.
