TEAM SELECTED South Africans For England Capo Town, January 3. The South African cricket team to tour England is:—ll. F. Wade (captain), Cameron (vice-captain), Siedle, Mitchell. A. D. Notirse, jun., Dalton, R. J. Williams (reserve wicketkeeper), R. J. Crisp, Bell, Vincent, Viljoen, Balnakas, D. Tomlinson, A. B. Langton, E. A. Rowan. There is universal satisfaction at the selection of the team, though surprise at the inclusion of the fast howler Bell, who has not taken part in first-class cricket since his return from the Australian-New Zealand tour. It is understood that Bell’s inclusion' was due to the adoption of the amended l.b.w, rule, because with his dangerous in-swinger he ought to prove a most thrustful bowler. In the team are eight first-class batsmen, eight bowlers, including four of the O’Reilly-Grimmett type. SECOND WOMEN’S TEST Australians Bat First (Received January 4, 10.25 p.m.) Sydney, January 4.
