TEST ELEVEN
Manchester, July 20,
The South Africans have sprung á bíg surprise in their team to meet England in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, starting tomorrow. - They have omitted Jon Fellows-Smith the former Northamptonshire and Oxford University all- rounder, who stands second in the tourists' Test batting averages.
There seems to be no logical reason why Fellows Smich, who was top scor cr in the first innings of the second and third Tests and second top scorer in the second innings, should have been passed over in favour of Colin Wesley who was out first ball each time at Trent Bridge.
The South African selectors, Jackie McGlow, Trevor Goddard and John Walte had been con- cerned about the brittleness of their top batting.
Little hope
WIS none the worse for the mishap.
On the ground of one of his old counties,, 49-year-old Nor- may Oldfield will be making his Test appearance match umpire. His colleague will be John Langridge.
