Peate though he was at times not so successful on the hard grounds , whenthe wickets helped himwas as dangerous as ever, and during the season he took 120 wickets . Alfred Shawand Watsonhave the best averages , and, considering the length of time they have been before the public , their figures were very praiseworthy . Crossland's bowling was also very successful , and Harrison and he were decidedly the two best fast bowlers of the day. The latter took 100 wickets , a wonderful performance for a first year. Flowers, Barlow, Woofand Barratt w e r ethehardest workedofthe other bowlers, andtheir figures are all creditable . Amateurbowling has rarely been weaker. Mr. C. T. Studd took 112 wickets , and he was the most reliable amateur bowler of the year. Generally , there waslittle promise , although Mr. Christopherson's fast bowling was very effective for Kent. There is every reason for the belief that he maybe of even greater u s enextyear. 1 0 0W I C K E T SO RO V E RD U R I N GS E A S O N . O v e r s. M a i d e n s . R u n s. W i c k e t s .
