B r igh ton E leven in 1875.— *0. J. Daniell (Capt.) proved a successful captain, the Eleven winning all the most important matches of the season. Not as successful in scoring himself as in the previous season, and seemed to have lost his form both in batting and bowling, though we hope to see Oxford bring out the really good cricket he has in him. P . P. Barnes , lias a better notion of cutting than of leg hitting ; his bat is not always held as straight as it should be, a good field and a safe catch. P. A. Buckle , much improved in hatting and made several good innings ; has a very good defence and cuts and hits hard to the off, though wanting freedom and more loose, ness about the shoulders ; kept wicket fairly and is an excellent long-stop and good change bowler. E. C. Friend , straight but not very difficult b o i le r , though he proved of service to the eleven, his batting is free and his bat not always straight. D. G. Gisborne at times bowled very fairly, plays with a very neat style but not strong in defence. J. S. Guille, to diffi­ dent to be of much service with either bat or ball; a good field. / / . L . Hooper fond of “ smiting,” played in fair form when he played steadily. W . Marshall, an acquisition to the eleven both in batting and bowling ; his pace 1 perhaps rather too good to last, but it is destruction on a wicket that suits him, made one or two good innings and in good form. II. W. Tippett> rather stiff about the shoulders, good field. T. N. Tyndale plays in good form but without much luck, good field and long-stop. C. W. Wilson , a st< <dy bat with strong defence, made some really good innings during the .season, a fine field at point.
