Trott, in the course of an article in the Melbourne Argus on the forthcoming tour of the M.C.C.’s team in Australia, makes the following interesting remarks “ The question is, have we a team capable of beating the Englishmen ? In my opinion we have, if our champions will sink indi­ viduality and play together for their side and the honour of Australia. At present the cricket horizon is somewhat gloomy, and a few of the champions are haggling and wrangling over their supposed rights, in wanting representation on the Board of Con­ trol. No doubt they have a certain amount of right on their side, and, I am sure, if wiser counsels prevailed, matters could be arranged so that both sides could come to some amic­ able settlement, with honour to each. The cricketers at the present moment have the best of the argument, for without them Australia will cut a sorry figure in the Test games. “ I believe in new blood being introduced into cricket teams, but I believe in it being introduced sparingly. Rarely does a colt do himself j ustice in his first few big matches, and when one has got cricket in him he should be persevered with for a reasonable time ; not shunted, j ust as he is getting over his natural nervousness. Very few young cricketers have iron nerves, and it is very often more by good luck than good judgment that a man makes his name on the cricket field in his first big match. “ Warner’s team won the rubber three years ago; now our selection committee must remember how we were beaten, and endeavour to profit by their experience. Bosanquet was the main factor in the success of Warner’s team, which goes to show that, on our ‘ billiard table’ wickets it is imperative to have a couple of good slow ‘ heady’ bowlers in our test team. The question is where are we to get them ? I contend that it will pay us to try and discover them before we enter into the serious part of the test games, and I would strongly advise all the States to play their best slow bowlers against each other, and persevere with them, so as to give the selectors an opportunity of judging the best in the whole of the States. Trace back the results of previous successful Australian teams against the Englishmen in Australia, and the most successful teams will be found to have contained two, or even three, good slow bowlers. The same remarks apply to the English teams. Slow bowlers are not so successful in England, simply because the wickets are slower; but here in Australia, the wickets being much faster, they nip off the pitch more quickly. ‘ ‘ The best Australian teams who played against Warner’s Eleven never had a really good slow bowler on their side, hence their non-success. Armstrong, perhaps, can be placed in that class, but he is practically a leg-theory bowler, and not a leg-break bowler, which some good j udges think he is. Noble is a fine bowler, but medium - paced. Saunders is, undoubtedly, the finest bowler in Australia at the present, and it will be a great pity if any objections are raised to his qualifications for inclusion. “ Another wicket-keeper will have to be found to take the place of that good veteran Jim Kelly, and if Gehrs, whom good judges aver has improved beyond all knowledge as a wicket-keeper, is selected, he will greatly improve the batting of the side.” Printed and Published by M eehitt & H atoher , L td ., 167, 168 and 169 Upper Thames Street, London, E.O:, July 18th, 1907.
