Nobody Is Giving Credit To South Africans For

Being Good Players

Mr G. O. ("Gubby”) Allen, Chairman of England's Test Match Selectors, is not concerned about the future of cricket, although he is willing to admit that present day batsmanship is disappointing.

"Nobody is giving the South Africans credit for being good players," he saya. "Just because England won the first two Tests the South Africans were written off as a poor let, and then because they won the next two Tests England has been labelled a poor lot.
