NO INFLUENCE IN CRICKET. By Telegraph,—Press Assn.--Copyright, Received May 31, 8.15 p.m. Sydney, May 31. With reference to the cable alleging that the Australian cricket bodies "will only consider the claims of men who fought in the war, the secretary of the board of control declared: ''The war is over. We. want to forget it, and expect Marylebono to send out the best team available. We in turn will endeavor to send a team to England that will do credit to Australia."—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
[Mr, Sewell, writing in tho London Daily Chronicle under the lietulm ■ "Australia's Cricket Bombshell," said';' "If the news from Australia be true there will be a fluttering in the dovecotes of Australian cricket when the Marylebone team is announced, I hear Australia i.-i only considering the choice of men who actually fought in the war. If Marylebone made a similar decision the British team would be different from what it is now likely to be."]
