Busy Bats Blast Pitchers Silly

Warwickshire's West Indian Cricketer Beats The

Colour Bar His Own Way

By DAVID JACK

Warwickshire's West Indian cricketer, Derief Taylor, is a disillusioned man.

He came to England feeling that there was no such thing as racial discrimination here, but if you asked him today you would find he had changed his mind.

He has moved his lodgings on a number of occasions, and more than once has been forced out by the colour bar.

MUCH OF A JOB PICKING THE

FIRST SEVEN OR EIGHT

Says BILL EDRICH

The last week-end was one of the most important week-ends of the whole of this cricket season. Especially for the top twenty players in the country. It was the week-end when the first England team was selected to meet South Africa at Trent Bridge--when, în fact, the Eng- land team pattern for the whole scaron was laid out.

Some of us, to say the least, awaited the decisions of the selectors with in-

But enough of that. The slant of my commentary this week' is to give you i some idea of the task the selectors settled down to do when they met in their Lon- don hotel room on Sunday. Right away I am reminded of an old friend of mine→ a former Australian Test star-who turned journalist and tried his hand at this business of picking a team instead of just playing in it.

Finally, he got the answer. He had picked a Test team without the key man the wicket-kerper:

In other words with his mind running on batsinen and bowlers he had completely overlooked

the vital man behind the stumps! Or. if you like it another way. he hadn't worked to any port of plan at all,

But I can assure you the Eng- Jand selectors on Sunday did

nut make that mistake. They worked to a plan all right! The general procedure is for ench selector to come to the meeting with his own idea of the best team for the job in hand. Starting from the greatest of all the specialist positions - the wicket-keeper-they each build
