E. Bush , a fine bat, with strong defence and good hitting power ; hardly ever failed to score. An excellent field, and has been useful as an underhand bowler; showed great judgment at times as Captain, notably in the Cheltenham match. *A. II. Heath , a very good bat, thoroughly steady, but hits well when he gets a chance ; his innings against Cheltenham was played without a chance. He fell off in his fielding at the beginning of the season, but quite recovered it afterwards ; a useful change bowler both with “ lobs ” and fast round. *T. W. Stubbs, improved in his batting and made runs now and then when most wanted ; he hits hard but still wants defence; an exceedingly fast bowler, very good when straight, but rather inclined to sacrifice necessary to pace. A moderate field. *11. Fouler , a fine fr e-hitting bat, whom the wet ground this summer did not suit: ought to study defence and patience ; a good field and fair medium pace bowler ; Captain for 1870. A. D. Greene , very unlucky this season with the bat; a very fine field, especially at long-stop, and has won the prize given to the best ficdd in the Eleven. *A. Georye , a fair change bowler (left- handed), and quick field at point; very weak as a bat. A. II. Evans , a very good bowler, medium pace with a difficult break, and uses his head well ; a free bat and good hotter, but rather too anxious to get runs; a good field. W, Muir , a very steady and good bat, but wants more freedom, though he hits well to leg; an exceedingly good field and long-stop. *W. K. Darley , a steady bat with strong defence, but fell off rather towards the end of the sea­ son, a good field. A. W. Leach , a very hard hitter, but wants defence, a good field near wicket. G. S. Saxton a steady bat with fine reach, of which he does not make sufficient use, should play with more confidence ; a fair field.
