NEW BLOOD WANTED
DEARTH OF YOUNG PLAYERS HOBBS SUMS UP CHANCES LONDON. Monday. The “Daily Herald” publishes an interview with Jack Hobbs in which the veteran cricketer says he does not see any chance of England recapturing the ashes in the next series of test matches. “We are faced with a tremendous task,” says Hobbs. “England wants new blood and young blood, but I cannot see where it is coming from. There is a dearth of bowlers of all kinds in England. Australia has quite a number of promising youngsters, but we have nobody equal to them.
“I can see only seven certainties for the next visit to Australia. They are' Sutcliffe, Hammond. Leyland. Duleepsinhji, Duckworth, Wyatt and Peebles.”
