Though the English selectors are pleased witn the iimprovemeht shown In the Leedt match, they seem to be taking a long vian of their responsibilities In choosing the team for the fourth test. Apparently they agree with Sydney Pardono’s article published in the Times that the best course now "the ashes" are lost is to build up in view of the next tour in Australia.—United Service. Newspapers express surprise at the latest re-shuffling of the test team, especially the dropping of Parkin. Marriott, right hand medium bowler, against the Players took 4 wickets for 44. Parker, left hand above medium, has taken 92 wickets, with an average of 16.44. Against Warwickshire last week he secured 11 wickets for 137. Received July 19, 10.30 p.m. London, July 8. It Is likely Strudwlck will be restored ttf the wicket-keeper’s position at Manchester Brcwn is being played for his batting. Marriott’s selection in placr- of White is not approved in some quarters. White’s bowling at Leeds was remarkably good, although i< had no luck. None of the Australians wen over-confident against White, who preserves an immaculate length. The Star points om that it is difficult to conjecture .why Marriott was preferred, considering White's flnf work at Leeds. COLLAPSE OF MIDDLESEX. Received July 9, 10.30 p.m. London, July 18. The Middlesex team, which have not bee> beaten since mid-soason 1920, collapsed aenui tionally at the Oval to-day. Surrey on Sat urday made 297, to which Middlesex repliet with 91 for one wicket. On resuming to-da] Middlesex lost nine wickets for nu additions 71, Hitch taking 4 for 47 and Rushby 5 rd 25. Surrey closed their second innings at 6 for 234, and Middlesex have 7 on for nc wickets.
