COUN TY CR ICKETER S W H O A R E N O W IN IN D I A . A carefully prepared list of all the players in the country who have at one time or other participated in first-class cricket at Home shows that there are a number who even now would be good enough to play for any side in England. Most of these were not in the country on the occasion of the last English invasion two years ago, and their arrival has resulted in a great accession of strength to Indian cricket generally. At the present time it is surprising to find how many players there are who have either played regularly in first - class cricket while at Home, or have been tried for one or other of the first-class counties. The list of such players I find comprises upwards of forty names, many of them still famous in E iglish ciicket. To take the names as they occur to me, none can so fittingly head the list as that of Captain J. G. Greig, whose achievements in Western India cricket and fur Hamp­ shire have caused himto be regarded as the best bat in India. W. Troup, of Gloucestershire fame, who, owing to the exigencies of police duty in the United Provinces, is not able to play regularly now, is still a first-class bat, and has few superiors in India. Major F. H. D. Quinton, R.A., who for years shared with Captain E. G. Wynyard the chief batting honours for Hampshire, still preserves his batting form and may play for theMadras Presidencyagainst Ceylon in December. Major A. H. Newnham, at one time Gloucestershire’s best fast bowler, keeps up his cricket, and in matches at Lucknow last season batted and bowled well. H. Reynolds, who is at present in Bombay, but has not donned flannels for over ayear, played for Middlesex on several occasions some years ago, and when in form is a first- class all-ri-und player. H. D. Watson, the Oxford Blue and Middlesex County player, is a tower of strength to Northern India teams, and is probably a better bat now than when he was at Oxford. Brigadier-General J. Spens, who commands the Allahabad division, is a recent arrival in this country, andhe has given proof that his batting powers have in nowaydiminished since the days when he assisted Hampshire regularly. E. H. Bray, the Cambridge Blue and Middlesex cricketer, is still to the fore whenever his services are required for important matches in Calcutta, but he apparently cannot find time to play in clubmatches, as one never comes across his name in this connection. As a wicket-keeper he is quite first class, probablythebest inIndia. K. O. Goldie, theSussexcounty player, whoisstationed at Cawnpora, is a cricketer who would find a place in any team at home, and had hismilitaryduties not obliged himto come out to India a couple of years ago, he would certainly have worked his way up to the front rankof amateur batsmen. C. T. Studd, the Old Cambridge Blue andMiddlesex County player, in spite of the number of years that have elapsed since he last took part in first-class cricket, has preserved a good deal of his old form, evidence of which may be found in his performances with bat and ball during the last three seasons at Ootacamund and Madras. Three of thebestknowncounty cricketers in India, particularly the North, are the brothersBateman-Champain, A.P., H.F., and C. E., all three of whomhaveplayed for Gloucestershire, H. F. and C. E. as recently as 1903. Among other cricketers in India who have played for counties are the following:—B. N. Bosworth- Smith, M. R. Jardine, the old Oxford Blue, Capt. A. P. Douglas, Ahsan-ul-Hak, and M. E. Pavri, who have all playedfor Middlesex ; J. L. Ainsworth aud H. C. John, who have represented Lancashire; G. L. Whatford, who played for Sussex in several matches last season; W, M. Turner, L. J. Le Fleming, and F. M. Luce, who have played for Essex, Kent, and Gloucestershire respectively; and Captain E. L. Challenor aud T. Caplin, who have, I believe, represented Kent in a few matches. This does not by any means exhaust the list of first-class cricketers in India, and among thosewho can claimto have their names added to the list are H. C. King, who played for the All England eleven in the early “ eighties,” Major E. Crawley, the old Cambridge Blue, J. B. Wood and L. P. Collins, the old Oxford Blues, Capt. C. Wigram, E. L. French, H. J. Hoare, F. H. Humphreys, A. B. Reynolds, Capt. H. G. Neale, E. B. T. Studd, and J. H. Curtis.—“ R.S.S.” in the Madras Times.
