The Sydney Morning Herald, July 2t. 1956 IS OLYMPIC STAND NEAR COMPLETION BOWROSSA TO I' v. I ILciwe Selecitwir From W. J. O'REILLY LONDON, July 20.

Ian Johnson's bowling has lost so much of its sting that Australia's selectors must have discussed dropping him long before this. i BE RIDDEN BY THOMPSON By ROY ABBOTT Leading jockey J. Thompson last night was engaged to ride country performer Bowrossa in the Second Parramatta Stakes at Rosehill to-day. 'jfbJlIul jtem oa The loss of the vital Leeds Test merely ac 19 Winter Handicap and Gold Quality in the Rosehill F. Hickey was booked to ride New Zealand stablemates Lachlan and Gold Quality.

Lachlan will run in the VISITORS DOMINATE LISTS Bookmakers were not to-day will be trying to repeat his performances of last taking any chances with Lord Cynara, despite announce Manchester is being chosen this problem will be well and truly thrashed out. And Johnson himself is man enough to be right in the thick of criticism of his own value. I am prepared to stand by the decision of the selectors Johnson, Keith Miller and Gil Langley. They are more vitally concerned in it than all the rest of us. Jack Wilson has made one or two recent strong claims for Test selection and one or two recantations.

I would choose him and use him rigidly for economy. English batsmen could be forced to take the risk with his leg-break in trying to penetrate a strong offside field. Wilson's inclusion let me emphasise, would be a risky gamble, just as Johnson has been. But surely it is the right time now to gamble. Both are comparative outsiders in early markets.

Rnwrossa has firmed in ments tbat be will not run. year, when he won this race and went on to win the centuated the problem. Johnson bowled so well in the Taylor-Mailey testimonial match in Sydney last season that many people, myself included, admitted him to.be the most efficient spinner at our disposal. Since then, however, Richie Benaud has displaced him there. And.

judging by the comprehensive use he made of the young leg-spinner, both at Lord's and Leeds, Johnson himself realises that. Johnson's lost form is not something to be amazed about. Some of us had the temerity to suggest before the team was chosen that a spin bowling position on the tour was too solid for a man whose best days were past. That goes for all types of bowlers not spinners only. When the team for Former New Zealande'r jr.jr jr.
