CRICKET.
ENGLISH CRICKET TEAM. Australian Press Assn.—United Service f Received this day at 10.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, Aug. 1. Concensus of opinion in official cricketing circles in Australia is that the team chosen to represent England is a well balanced representative combination, possibly along the lines of safety first. Noble says that the bowling is not too impressive, hut the fielding is good. .. Gregory is surprised at tlie omission of Woolley.
Kippax says: “Dig in,” seems to he the watchword.
Oldfield considers it n, formidable team.
Ponsford is surprised that Jardine is neither captain . nor vice-captain, and that Jupp and Hallows have been omitted.
Mailey says Mead is a surprise selection, hut a pleasing feature is the inclusion of Duckworth and Ames, two good young wicket-keepers, though Hammond will probably create more interest than anybody.
