It will come as a surprise to many out here that so many changes have been made in the team to play the Australians in the next 'Test Match, including three who are new to the business of beating the redoubtable men from "down under." So complete was England's victory in the second 'Test, for which also changes had been made, that it would seem logical to stand' by those who had succeeded. However, undoubtedly those on the spot know best and they must be Ltrusted to have done the best. The three-men dr re K. Farnes, Geary, and Bowes, whilst G.O. Allen yeaulay have been brought in together with Clark of Northants, Hopwood of Lancashire, and Keeton of Notts, the three who are offered their first trial against lions. As to Allen, nothing id, for, if ft, he is worth hhis place in any Test team. Clark takes the place of Farnes as a fast bowler, Hopwood balances Geary as jan all-rounder, Macaulay is not behind Bowes at bowling and on occasion can bat usefully, whilst Keeton is one of the finest bats of the season. The frst. two teams were so strong in bowlers that it might be suggested the selectors usefully could sacrifice some potential wicket-wreckers for others who could be expected to make runs.
