SHAKE-UP.

Not Likely To Risk Experiments In Choosing

The Next Test Team

(By FRANK ROSTRON)

Brisbane, Doc. 5. Australia dare not risk any experiments in selecting their next Test team.

This surviving effect of the first Test extravaganza is in itself justification for the openly expressed pride Freddie Brown now has in his battling English Test team even though there were many self-recriminations and not a few individual and collective regrets qualifying last night's end of the Test jollifications and that Len Hutton's wonder innings was not given the modest support which was all that was needed to bring about Test history's most fabulous win.

Even though the first Test was almost universally regarded as a foregone conclusion throughout Australia and beyond, the Australian selectors picked a cautious orthodox team-the strongest available which almost automatically selected itself—for the first Test.
