THUMBNAIL SKETCHES
"AUSSIE TEST PLAYERS
To-day we publish the eighth unpublished biographies of the sixteen players selected to repre sent Australia in the 1938 Cricket Test series against England.
To-day's thumb-nail sketch is that of John H. Fingleton (New South Wales).
Fingleton is the man whom W. A. Brown, by a brilliant double cen- tury on the eve of selection, dis- placed from the 1934 Australian Eleven in England.
Fingleton's omission meant that his club, Waverley, was not represented in a Test side for the first time for 41 years.
Syd Gregory, Hanson Carter, Bert Collins and Alan Kippax were Waver- ley representatives.
Fingleton's first Test matches were against Jardine's team in 1932-33. A century for New South Wales ensured him a place in the first Test when Bradman had his breakdown. He was dropped after the third Test, after having made 150 runs, highest score 33. in six innings.
Sheer defence was his long suit and still remains so. A big proportion of his runs come from round the corner shots. He represses his drive. ·
