spots. Hammond, I believe, is the best slip fieldsman in the world, while McCabe is not very fnr behind. After these men comes rather a big gap on both sides. The Englishmen have not Jack Hobbs in the cover, and they will find difficulty in finding first-class outfielders if Paynter and Mitchell stand down. On the other hand, Bradman is obviously the best outfield on either side, and if Fingleton is chosen he will probably be the best cover-point or midoff.
Apart from these fieldsmen I do not think the others can bo classed under the heading of super-fieldsmen. Of course subsequent happenings may compel me to change either team, but as the position stands now the teams seem to be fairly evenly matched.
[Since the above was written-L. E. Nagel has come into the reckoning for a place in Australia's team. It is somewhat surprising to find Duckworth given a place by Mailey among the certainties for the English Test team. —"Not Put,- }Ji '~~~.'
