Speedsters Farnes and Perks may have a thin time in South Africa's thin air, with Perks not finding the ball so movable as it is in our "pea soup."

Hammond will probably do best with his spinners, notably Wright, Goddard, Wilkinson. And here's wishing Wright a good health trip. This means a lot to English cricket.

There has been some trouble over M.C.C.'s firm refusal to allow end-to- and wicket covering at the close of play, but this will not be permitted to affect the harmony of the four.
