Asher (Loretto and B. N. C.) : a fine dashing bat, but has very little defence at present ; a good active field , but is often careless ; ought to be tried more as a bowler . E. W. Bastard (Sherborne and Wadham) : a very fair slow left -hand bowler , but wants experience ; an improving bat ; a poor field . W. E. T. Bolitho (Harrow and Trinity) : can hit well at times ; whenhe plays , is too fond of grounding his bat and letting the ball hit it ; a good field at cover-point , but hardly as quick as he ought to be. T. R. Hine-Haycock (Wellington and N e w) : a very useful bat, with a good style ; drives well ; good and hard -working field . M. C. Kemp (Harrowand Hertford) : a good sound bat, but not so successful as he was in 1882; was in capital form though behind the sticks ; an excellent Captain, and retains his post for 1884. C. F. H. Leslie (Rugbyand Oriel ) : a powerful bat, hitting well whenhe chooses , and has good defence ; was in excellent form in Australia , but seemed rather stale on his return ; a fine field and thrower ; an extraordinary bowler. H. V. Page (Cheltenham and Wadha m) : the best all roundm a nthat has come to Oxford for some years ; very straight mediumpace bowler, sometimes tries a curly ball from leg, but should not do so too often ; capital field andgood bat, watching the ball well ; was of great use to Gloucester- shire at the end of the season . E. Peake (Marlborough and Oriel ) : a fast and plucky bowler, but rather erratic , again did execution against Cambridge ; a run- getting bat and active field . G .E. Robinson (Private and Jesus) : a very good fast left-handed bowler on his day, which unfortunately never comes at Lord's; an apathetic bat and field . H. G. Ruggles -Brise (Winchester and Balliol ) : a nice free bat , hits well on the off -side ; an excellent field ; will not be up next season as he is going into the army. J. G. Walker (Loretto and Trinity ) : an excellent bat with strong defence and great patience ; took to fielding point and acquitted himself very creditably there ;has been knownto bowl in Scotland.
