THE FIGHT FOR THE ASHES
More than ordinary interest will be taken in the cricket at Home this summer by reason of the fact that Austraila will be making an effort to regain the historical Ashes from the Old Country. The Australian team has been an- nounced and will be led by Billy Woodfull with Don Bradman sa his "Heutenant." Judging by the selections, it will seem that the Australian Board of Control-have favoured the "youth policy." · "This does not mean that the side is entirely composed of "griffins- there are some seasoned warriors in the side who will, no doubt be able to hold their own and at the same time give the young ones the advise and encouragement so necessary on a tour which demands
much from every individual. There are eight men'in the team who will be making their first tour with a representative side, and although they are all well-known In the inter-State cricket, it re- mains to be seen how they will shape in the bigger matches and on the English wicket which is so different to the bulli soil of Aus- tralia. In this connection it will be of interest to note that Allan Fairfax, former Australian Test cricketer who is now conducting an' - ultra-modern cricket school near Lambeth Bridge, will have ready for his countrymen, specially prepared wickets as soon as they set. foot, in England and thus adford them the opportunity of getting used to the intricacies of the English wickets, long before
they engage
in the first Test which is due to start at Notting- ham on June 8. Actually, how- ever, they play their first match on "May 2, against Worcester" on the county ground and all the cricketing public of England who can manage to do so, will attend to see what this Australlan team will be like.
We have had many a report re- garding the chances of Douglas Jardine leading the English side again this summer. From many sources has come no Ilttle com- ment but now, when the anal arrangements are about to be made, we have a statement from Jardine himself to the effect that he has neither the intention nor the desire to play agajrist the Australians this summer."

fact there had already been much discussion re- garding the next Test skipper for England. Bob Wyatt has been mentioned as a possible, and the names of Percy Chapman and G. O. Allen have also been brought up. Situated as we are, thousands of "miles away, it would more or less amount to-impertinence. for us to even attempt to plek a skip- per for England. It is, however, to be hoped that Champam will have sufficiently recovered his real form by the time the Tests come off to warrant his selection, for with due respect to the other possible leaders, the Kent left- hander has the happy knack of being able to get the last ounce out of his men.
