Bradman For A Duck

The first season after the war (1946) was Alec's year as far as wo two were concerned. We were both chosen for the opening game against the MCC at Lord's. Alec mude a flying start, and his second innings analysis rend: 9.1 overs, 4 maidens, 14 runs, 6 wickets.

Denis Compton came into the dressing-room afterwards, slapped mo heartily on the back, and said: "Well bowled, Alco!"

COUNTY CAP

You know, after all these years, I still don't think Denis can tell us apart. That was the big start of Alee's "Indian sun- mer." Already the Press critics were being good enough to tip lum as a possible England bowler, and in early June he was awarded his County Cap and pleked to play, for The Rest against England in the Test Trial.

Ho bowled 37 overs in long spelis in that match, and took two for 13. The two were Len Hutton and Wally Hammond.

Next weekend, who we were in Manchester playing Lancs, we heard the news over the radio: Alee was picked to play in the first Test against India.
