B. G. Lester (Capt.)-A n excellent captain ; agood left -hand bat ; hits well to the off , but did not come up to his last year's form ; a good left -hand bowler , and fine field at cover-point . *E. A. Nepean: Thebest bat in the eleven ; has a very strong defence , and good judg- ment; punishes hard on the off , and cuts nicely ; seldom fails to makeruns ; a good bowler , with plenty of break both ways. *G. R. Heath : As a bowler did not come up to last year's form, but on his day is difficult to play ; improved greatly as a bat , hitting very hard , especially to the on ; an energetic field . *G. R. Fenwick : Avery safe and steady bat ; wasnot very fortunate in the middle of theseason ,but came on with a run at the end. H. G. Papillon : A n extremely hardhitter all round, with lots of confidence ; should practice forward play more; a splendid field anywhere, either out in the country , or at long leg . A. C. Broad- bent : Avery painstaking bat ; has played several good innings ; wants confidence at times ; a good change bowler, and good long-stop . H. J. Collins : Not very successful as a bat, though he cuts well ; kept wicket for the team this season , in which capacity he acquitted himself very well . W. Allis -Smith : A poor bat, b u ta goodleft-handbowler with considerable break from the off , and very puzzling on a sticky wicket . W. Elton : a hard-hitting bat, greatly improved and rendered great service towards the end of the season in the fielding depart- ment. *A. M. Sheppard : Afair bat and bowler ; slow and sleepy in the field . P. W. G. Stuart : Asa bat has greatly improved ; plays very straight and freely , and takes great pains ; a fair field .
