The West Indies Tour

COMPOSITION OF ENGLISH SIDE NOT FINALLY DECIDED UPON

(By."Watchman")

So many weeks have passed truth that this country could put since the cricket season ended a second cieven in the field not far that people with short memories below the strength of the first eleven have had time to forget that and a third almost as good as the team will shortly set out to play second.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS

Yet it was always clear that they had much fine cricket in them. Their batting was often but undisciplined. It was a spontaneous expression of the of cricket, not studied, cal- culated craftsmanship. They had many strokes; they were blessed with exceptional quickness; they had a fast bowler, who frequently pat out batsman to undignified flight; and their fielding was often brilliant, although, like the bat- ting, it was sometimes handicap- ped by excitability of tempera- | ment.

But when judging them we must remember that they came from u country where most of the matches are restricted to a single day. Continuous cricket right through the season, with matches generally extended to three days, was new to the majority of them. They were, club players opposing me to whom cricket is a life's work. Their skill was shackled by their lack of ex- perience in long-drawn-out games,

No doubt they are a different peo ple in their own country. And, of course

the boot will be on the other fool in regard to the handicap of conditions in the forthcoming Test matches.

Most of the players who were here in 1933 will be available. At the head of them stands G. Headley, that little man of colour with a squirrel's quickness, a hawk's eye, and a splendid techniqué, a World's batsman distinct from a Teat- match batsman; E. A. Martindale, who on his day is as fast as any- one playing; and C. A. Roach, a bataman with every stroke. But in the West Indies, young players have a way of coming to the front which a jump.
