Test Cricket
| "Jack Hill the surprise choice of the 17. He bowls faster than the orthodox leg spinner but on our pitches does not turn to any extent. His length is usually impeccable and without any doubt his inclusion is an insurance against the failure of our other leg spinners, coupled with the thought that he may even force his claims to a place in the eleven on his own prowess." Sir Donald Bradman (February 1953)" |

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or cricket:
“The test of a given phrase would be: Is it worthy to be immortal? To “make a beeline” for something. That’s worthy of being immortal and is immortal in English idiom. “I guess I’ll split” is not going to be immortal and is excludable, therefore excluded.”
—Robert Fitzgerald (1910–1985)
“All cries are thin and terse;
The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
