T H O U G Hthe season was, on the whole, fairly propitious for the bowlers , there . wasno evidence of any great advance either amongthe professionals or amateurs . O nthe contrary , especially among the latter , there was, unfortunately , abund- ance of proof of exceptional weakness ; and there was really not one amateur fast bowler, onlast year's form, really worthy of the name. Generally , amateur bowling had never been so weak as it was in 1882. Amongthe professionals there wasmore reason for satisfaction . Peate proved himself to be the best bowler wehave had for manyyears ; and his brilliant record given below, was the more noteworthy from the fact that a sprained ankle caused him to bowl under great disadvantagein the later matches. Crossland-whateverm a ybe decidedabout his delivery-was extremely successful , especially for one of his pace. Morley, despite anaccident , bowled with great effect ; and Ulyett and Jones showed. great improvement. Mr. C. T. Studd was the best amateur bowler of the year . Theonly young bowler of any real promise was Peel, of Yorkshire , a very close imitator of Peate, w h owas very successful . O V E R200 W I C K E T SD U R I N GS E A S O N .
