Cricket 1884

454 CEICKET; A WEEKLY EECOED OE THE GAME. o c t .3 o ,1884. more to the front, he did an exceptionally good performance, obtaining eleven wickets at a cost of only eighty-seven runs. Had Alfred Shaw been able to secure the players he originally intended Peel would not at the present time have been in or near Australia. Indeed, it was only tho defection of some of those on whom the promoters of the tour had counted that procured for him the refu­ sal o f . a place in the team. At the same time those, and they are not a few, who think very highly of his capabilities as an all-round cricketer, will be pleased that he is likely to have a really fair chance of proving his merits in such good company. There are many who hold the same opinion as ourselves that Peel has not yet been seen at his best. He is left-handed both in bat­ ting and bowling. His action is very similar to Peate, though he has a rather higher delivery. His length is excellent, and as he breaks both ways he requires careful watch­ ing, though it is the ball coming with his arm which is the more difficult. He is a good bat, with fair defence, and when set plays really sound cricket. For his size— he is only 5 feet 7 inches in height—he hits with great power, particularly on the off­ side, and when he gets in scores very fast. He is, too, an excellent field anywhere. A thoroughly good worker, always civil and obliging, Peel is deservedly a favourite on the cricket grounds of Yorkshire, where he is best known. AM E R IC AN C L IP P IN G S .
