"R. Abbit" On English Test Selections

Rain May Affect Batting Of The Australians

The 140th Test match between England and Australia began at Trent Bridge yesterday and by the time these lines are in print many of the problems they consider will be solved. There has been even more speculation about England's chances this year than before, and while a lot of our leading authorities--Plum Warner for instance and C. B. Fry-have stated that they consider England has a good chance of winning the rubber, the average club-cricketer is very doubtful about it.
