James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1876

109 unsuccessful last season both with the bat and in the field, would make a useful man with practice. II. T. Hay man, a safe run-getter, having fine defence, as a field an acquisition to any Eleven. A . R. Lewis , good bat and field, useful sometimes as a lob-bowler. S. C. Newton, a fine free hitting bat, with good defence, never known to miss a catch, fine field anywhere, and a fair medium pace bowler; made an excellent captain. S. Fainter, must exercise more patience in batting, good medium-paced bowler. Richards, steady bat, but wants more freedom, useful slow bowler. Shepherd, sadly fallen olf both in batting and fielding—too eager to get runs. C. O. Woodland , much too careless with the bat, a line catch, and on his day a destructive fast bowler, though rather inclined to sacrifice pitcli to pace. JESUS COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. Hon. Sec., I. M. New.

M. Sims , Captain, vide University Eleven. E . T. Norris , rather weak at the beginning of the year but quite recovered liis old form towards the end of the season, much improved as a field. C. M. Sharpe , vide University Eleven. A. C. Vidler proved himself a useful bat to the E leven, always scoring throughout the season. G. II. Wallace played well at times, is still slow in the field; if he could overcome this weakness would be a good cricketer. A. B.
