The All-India Cricketers The advent of cricket and the advent
of the Indian cricketers synchronize opportunely. Sport has often enough served as solvent of international animosities,
and within its modest T 'ts the tour of the Indian cricket team should serve to emphasize one of the happier aspects of the relationships between two great peoples. In the Jam Sahib of Nawanagar—whom, as Mr. Baldwin observed at a hind' to the visitors at the House of Commons on Tuesday, we shall never think of as anything but Ranji, even in his present exalted position as Chan- cellor of the Chamber of Princes—K. S. Duleepsinhji and the Nawab of Pataudi India has contributed to English cricket some of the finest players who ever hit a century. The achievements of this year's Indian XI, handicapped as it will inevitably be by the weather characteristic of the average English summer, will be followed with keen interest, and the more matches the visitors can win the better we shall like them.
