WONDER BOY BATSMAN

GOING TO AUSTRALIA-

(By William Pollack)

The England Test selectors have more or less made up their minds that Harold Gimblett, the young Somerset player, is to be asked to go to Australia this autuma,,

I have very high authority for saying that they regard Gimblett, on his present form, as one of their first choices, and intend to pick him for the tour.

Not yet twenty-two, Gimblett, son of a yeoman farmer. is being spoken of as the best batsman to come into English cricket since Hammond. It is believed that he has all the quali ties to ensure him a great cricket career.

He is eighteen.

Loud cheers greeted the equallsn- tion. Perry kept up his best play. for the first three games of the third set, when he led 2-1, but now he was not too happy in returning von Cramm's high bounding service,
