'WRONG-GRIP JAKE' TIPPED AS TEST BOWLING SURPRISE

With the Test rubber settled and Surrey home in the champion. ship race, next season's visit from Australia is the big problem to be considered,

Encouraging as have been this summer's results, we must not forget that no country has won the rubber against Australia since Douglas Jardine's team went there in 1932-3.

Without being anything but optimistic about England's prospects, I know that Australia will be mighty hard to defeat.

Already Australia is preparing tour One prominent for the cricketer there has sent me his "unoficial" forecast of the players who will come under Sir Donald Bradman's management-which regarded R an automatic

doubt To my mind the one would be whether he could stand up to the strain of cricket six days a week.

The history of tours has proved the difficulty of keeping back a bowler primarily for the tig games. It seldom works out that way.

If Iverson doca well this winter, I have little doubt that he will be invited.

In that case, Australia's Test bowling could well be the same

son.

The Aga Khan's three-year-ston, Jack Iverson and Ian John- old, winner this season of the Epsom Derby, the Eclipse Stakes at. Sandown Park, and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Asent, has twice taken care of Gay Time.
