DACRE’S VIEWS, OF TEST TEAM

LONDON, August 8

Dacre told the “Star” that England had a wonderful chance of regaining the ashes from Australia. The result would depend on Gririiniett, rather than Bradman. ■'< He believed that Hammond was the best partner for iSutcliffa; and he expressed the opinion chat Duckworth ought to be played. Patau cH and Voce would be helped by th e fast wickets in: 4 u f, tralia. Tate must go as England’s best bowler. Hendren ought to be selected, because be was always good jn 1 Australia. The remaining place should be filled' by a left-hander, ; either Paynter or Leyland. --- r . Why Chapman was dropped, Dacre was unable to understand. He said that if a vote was taken for the captaincy Chapman would head the list.
