CRICKET.
[Australia & N.Z. Cable Association ]
ENGLISH TEST CAPTAIN. BARDSLEY’S VIEWS. (Received this day at 11.0 a.in.) LONDON, January 27. “ I know it is touching delicate ground,” says Bardsle.v in his fourth article in “All Sports Weekly,” “but the Australian system of choosing a captain on his merits is preferable to the English system of selecting an amateur, often at the cost of passing over a proved tactician like Hobbs. It seems to me that a rigid adherence to tbo idea that a professional must not lead England may one day cost England dear, as it has already done more than once. My knowledge of Hobbs, wlio knows Australia and Australian cricket as few living Englishmen do, suggests he would make a more formidable leader than an amateur who has not been to Australia. Collins has Australia behind him, therefore we shall he a happy land and that is three-quarters of the battle.”
