Ih view». of a steady- drizzlA of riaiu for two days at Manchester and the fact that the piteh at Old Trafford will not be covered until 24 hours before j play is due to begin in the third Test, .it. i's unlikelj/'that the,-" New Zealand . selefctors will -announce the team Until shortly before tbe match starts. If there is no sudden change in the weather, it is'probable that the piteh will suit the spinners. England nas four— Brown, Hollies, Close and Baker. In the first ^ two Tests, 'New Zealand used Burtt-. and Rabone and to a lesser extent Sutcliffe as spinners and concentrated on batting strength. A different . type of piteh will probably pose a problem to the selectors as to whether Burke should be included.
