Beaten in the first tw o matches, before they had fairly Sot into their stride, the team made amends later, and won the rubber of gam es w ith the W est Indies, the Barbados and Dem erara gam es g o in g to them by good m argins, while that in Trinidad w as lost in an innings. T h e m atting wickets at Port of Spain suited few , if any, of the batsmen ; W hittington especially dislikes them , one understands. Humphreys did fine all-round w o rk ; R elf, who heads the batting, w as far less successful in the bow ling line than had been anticip ated; Burton p'ayed particularly w ell, and should be worth a place in the Yorksh ire team ; S. G . Sm ith, while doing good all-round w ork, w as scarcely at his b e s t; the veteran skipper kept w icket in every match w ith ability and a g ility ; and all the others had their day or days o f use­ fulness.

In the averages which follow “ B .” denotes Barbados, “ G .” British G uiana, “ T .” Trinidad, and “ W .” (against O llivierre’s and Phillips’s names) W est Indies, these tw o players h ailin g from islands not included in the tour. Gibbs, of Barbados, p'ayed in five m a tch es; Ince, Browne, R ogers, Cumberbatch, and A . Cipriani appeared in four e a c h ; none of the others played in more than three. Ince has the highest b attin g average, followed by Tarilton and G. Challenor (over 50), B rowne and Moulder (over 40 ), Gibbs, Cumberbatch, and R . Challenor (over 30), and there were eigh t more w ith averages exceed­ in g 20 . John, R ogers, O llivierre, Pascall, and G . Challenor were the only men w h o took 10 w ickets or more, and most of them were rather expensive. On the whole, the W est Indian batting is probably much stronger than the bow ling.
