Blackett (Captain ) ; a very fair slow round-arm bowler; improved in batting towards the end of the term. A prehensile fields- m a n, andshowed great agility behind the wickets . E. C. M. Evans , an excellent bat, with strong defence , and shows great improvement on last year's form. A very sure field , and can bowl on his day. G. P. Elwes , a fine bat, and hits well, though sometimes wildly ; can play if he likes . A very fair bowler and field , but would like the game better if it did not involve bowling and fielding . As also wouldE. Christy , a very pretty and effective bat ; perhaps the best of the year, vide average . Hits especially well to square leg ; will doubtless be heard of again . Avery fine field . H. Rouse , an excellent long -stop , and fair bat in practice ; but disappointing in matches , whenhe would do better if he tried to score more off the bowling, and less of the captain of his side , has never been known to bowl . W. C. Ridley , a very fair medium left -arm bowler, but should vary his delivery more; a fast -improving bat, with good defence , but should learn to open his shoulders ; slow in the field , and a very indifferent mover between the wickets . G. P. Glencross has not improved in batting so much as his friends could wish, though not from want of coaching ; a fair field . F. J. Hornby plays in his own style , but will improve his batting with increased height ; can also take his own part in the field . S. H. Allenby , sometimes hits well , but scarcely bats on a right theory; should indulge in parlour practice , both in this and fielding . C. А. Cresswell , a merry little bat, and cuts like " an old man." Whenhis size corres- ponds withhis confidence , he will be indeed dangerous . E. Scott has improved inbatting , though at present scarcely supports the theory of the supremacy of the bat over the ball ; a very fair bowlerton asilimia *
