108 wonderfully quick a short slip. M. M. Hayes (9.10), a hard hitter; playH in bad form, and is very weak on the off side. A pood field at long log, but does not show enough energy in the game. *E. Pruitt (13.S), greatly improved in batting, playing carefully and steadily; has a good defence, and is ond of an on-drive, but is wanting in freedom, and does not make <nongh vse of his reach. A fair medium-pace bowler, somewhat dc- i i>t i\ ia pitch, but sometimes expensive, lias the best bowling analysis of the year, 1 !. 11 runs per wicket. C. E. Mil vain (11.17), bowls left-hand, slow r<mid, and proved very useful during the season; dangerous on liis day, but not patient and steady enough when his bowlingis punished. A left-hand •V' , and hits hard to the off and to leg, but has very little defence, and doc s < play with a straight bat. A good Held and long thrower. * ?RPonloR > i ’•■•). A useful painstaking bat, generally scoring. Plays in a nice straight stylo, hitting well to the off, but too fond of cutting balls on the off-stump. Weak on tho on-side. A fair field at long-leg and good thrower. Unfor­ tunately was compelled to leave before cither of the school matches. R. ][. 3. Taylor (36.1). A very good and useful b,at, with a strong defence, and scoivd consistently throughout tho season. His play is rather too cramped at present, though he shows considerable freedom at times when well set, having a good off drive, and seldom failing to turn leg-bails to account. With a little more freedom and more forward ploy lie would undoubtedly become a first-class bat. is a remarkably good long-stop, very quick with a good return. *C. E. Horner (7.6). A good straight fast bowler, with a 1iLtle break back, but not accurate enongh in pitch; bats in fair form with­ out much power. Careless in the field. *G . Harrison (8.10). A steady bat, with good forward play and stubborn defence. An indifferent field. * ! . R. Trevithick (11.5), generally scored, hittinghard and well on the off-side, iIo has not much defence. A useful change bowler, (fast round), with a rurl from leg, but not straight enough to depend upon. A slovenly field. E. M. David (11.2), showed fair form with tho bat at times, but wants more life and vigour. A good cover-point, with a quick return. A . J. Forrest (5.1), got his colours as twelfth man. A promising crickoter; bats in a freo good style, and can hit well all round. A good field. Opponent*. CLIFTON COLLEGE. II. Fowler, Captain. Hesults of Matches.
