The halt and the lame were much in evidence in latest test-matcb. Prior to 6tart, Noble, Howell, Kelly and Gregory were more fit for hospital than cricket. Massage treatment was brought to bear freely. Reported that Howell and Kelly, a day before beginning, “ were fit only to sit on chairs and read the papers and talk to each other." Noble '* was walking about, but it hurt him to do it.” Then, while the match progressed, the wires told about Noble that “ there was very little of that great dash in his delivery that was so strong a feature of the second | test match in Melbourneand about Howell, that “ his leg was so bad that he could scarcely run up to the wicket.” The close of the second over on Saturday saw Howeli limping to the pavilion to get his maimed underpin bandaged; and Kelly was palpably lame all the time. Sid Gregory’s trouble, previously put down to a hard knock, has since been ascribed to a strain that may assert itself any time. (Question uppermost now is bow the selection committee, knowing all this, came to include these four'? Possibility of Noble bowling well, even though crippled, might have justified his presence ; but what of Howell and the strong likelihood of Gregory not being able to see a long innings nut?
