Cricket 1884

466 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME, o c t . so . iss *. trast with the days of such giants as Patter­ son, D. Q. Steel, A. P. Lucas, and Rother­ ham. Martineau will, we believe, be captain of the eleven next year. The Eepton eleven of 1885 will have to be mainly composed of new choices, as seven of this year’s team are going or have gone down. A. H. Cochrane, the best all-round cricketer of 1884, who it will be remembered made such a promising debut for Derbyshire at the end of the summer, has gone up to Oxford, and L. Ford and Graburn who were also very effective with the bat, will be no longer available. F. G. Ford, who shared the bowling honours with Cochrane, remains, and Farrant, Daniel and Jackson will lave to form with him the nucleus of next year’s eleven. Marriott has gone to Oxford, and L. G. B. Ford, following the example of his brothers, to Cambridge. The Shrewsbury eleven played in all ten matches, of which four were won and two lost. Burbury’s batting was the most noticeable feature of the season’s cricket, though Wilson was the best all-round player judging from the figures. These two will both be up at Cambridge for next season, as will be Kemp, Wynne, and Hartley. Worthington is the only member of the team who will be in residence at Oxford. Haileybury won five of the eight matches on its programme, and in many respects the cricket seems to have been creditable. D ’Aeth, who will be up at Oxford next summer, had an exceptionally good batting average, and the bowliDg of Campbell, Barton and Spurway, was certainly above the ordinary standard. Arkwright will also be in residence at Oxford next summer, Spur­ way, Barton, Alexander and Pollock at Cambridge. The Wellington eleven were hardly so strong as in some previous years. Their summary shows four defeats to three victories, not altogether a satisfactory re­ cord. The batting figures are fairly good, but there was evidently no great amount of bowling in the team, though the performance of Baker and Stockley was certainly not dis­ creditable. E. P. Simpson, the captain of 1884, has gone up to Cambridge and his place is now filled by Prince Christian Victor,who is not only a promising all-round cricketer but a keen supporter of the game. The Malvern eleven did fairly well, winning seven and losing five matches. The two fast bowlers, Rawlinson andLemarchand, were both of great use, though Woodhead’s slow round arm was the best on the side. The most noticeable incident, though, in the season’s cricket was the exceptionally good batting of Copleston, who had an average of over forty-four runs for thirteen completed innings. Yardley. the captain, and he have gone to Oxford, and in addition Harrison, Lemarchand, Sedgwick, and Herbert have left. Rossall seems to have had a fairly good eleven all-round, and Sherborne two useful all-round cricketers in Nepean and Lester. Longley’s batting figures at Radley are noteworthy. Bradfield could also claim to have two bowlers above the average in Gelli- brand and Paine, though the batting of the team was generally only moderate. Brighton had a batsman above the average in Cotterill, and its neighbour of Lancing, a useful all round cricketer in H. Hammond. Among the minor Schools, Tonbridge occupies a very prominent position. Special attention should be given to their Captain, Rashleigh. Good judges aie of opinion that that be hasinhim themaking ofavery fine bat. Paterson and Kitto batted wellfor Loretto, find the latter goes up to Oxford with a good e putation as an all-round cricketer. The Loretto eleven was much indebted toGornall’s effective bowling during the season. Only two of this year’s Fettes team remain for 1885. Stephen, the most successful bowler, will be at Cambridge.
