HOWARD MARSHALL : The Australian
Team'
IT is now nearly a month since the Australian Test cricketers arrived in England ; they have played their first match, and they will play their first Test, at Nottingham, June 8 to 12. This evening Howard Marshall is to discuss their prospects of regaining the Ashes.
If, in Woodfull, they have probably the most popular Captain they have ever had, and in Oldfield, in the opinion of many, the best wicket-keeper in the world today, they have in Bradman the most phenomenal batsman of modern times. Though he is only twenty-five, he is Woodfull's second in command. Among his records may be mentioned the highest score in first-class cricket, 452 against Queensland in 4 1/2 hours ; and the highest in a Test, 334 at Leeds in 1930.
