RUNNING INTO FORM
It was satisfying at Lord's that Patsy Hendren is again running into the form that gave him his *fame.
Until then he had not done very much in the batting department, but his 39 in his county's second innings was an extremely valuable
contribution.
Whether Patsy will be consider- ed for the forthcoming Tests 13 not definitely known..
I believe it to be true. however, that, he feels the time has come for him and others to make wax for younger men,
