Burprize among cricketers to hear that A. W. Hayward has been chosen to lead our side. The experience of many years of good cricket and a considerable number of Interports is his invaluable asset and 1 am con vinced that all of my readers will wish him every success.

And when I recollect a couple of his catches last year but one in the slips, I trust he will held thera.
