CRICKET.

j Australia <fc N.Z. Cable Association.! ■LONDON, June 22. Colonel Trevor writes: “All six of the English test selectors were present at a lengthy discussion before the second test team was chosen. Apparently the committee regards all thirteen of the men named as at their disposal for a final choice, but the team’s announcement suggests that, they prefer Larwood to Macaulay. Tt is evident thatthe committee has altered its mind repp riling lleanie and Randham. "he certainties are:- Carr. Chapman, Kilner, Tate, Hobbs, Strudwiek and Woolley, ft. seems impossible to exclude Root so a batsman must lie dripped. After Hendren’s display at Lords, the choice will narrow itself down to Holmes and Sutcliffe, 'and the eleven will then be without a. slow right-hand bowler. The public probably will think it a little disturbing that the committee is unable to make u its mind definitely.” COUNTY CRICKET. LONDON. June 22. Tn the County Cricket series.
