R. BROWN, England's brilliant

bowler and dashing_batsman, celebrates his 22nd birthday to day.

Brown leapt into prominence in English cricket clrcles whilst at Cambridge in 1930, when he dis- played astonishingly good form with both bat and ball.

Surrey next claimed him and last summer found him rising to great heights of brillance as the ¡scason progressed. He literally played himself into the England Test Team with a series of out- atanding successes with the ball, and since he has arrived "Down Under," he has clearly shown him- self to be as dangerous a trundler, on the dry and fast Austrailan wickets as ho fa on the Homesido glue-pota.

Brown did not secure a position in the First Test side at Sydney, but his form fully warrants in- clusion, and there is no doubt that the honour will be his before the tour closes.
