Dauglish (Capt.) 1884-5 : Hasgoodhitting powers, but requires rather more defence ; an excellent wicket -keeper , and a brilliant field anywhere; bowls lobs fairly well ; worked hard as captain , and the good fielding of the team at Lord's was chiefly owing to his exertions . *A. D. Ramsay(1884-5 ) : Agood bowler on his day (fast right -hand, with an excel- lent delivery ); has a style of his ownin batting , hitting with great vigour ; is a first -class field anywhere , having a hard and straight return . *H. F. Kemp (1885) : Apretty bat, and makes excellent strokes , especially on the off , but is unsound; an uncertain field , though he sometimes does a brilliant thing . *E. Crawley (1885 ) : Thebest bat in the eleven on all grounds ; at Lord's he played two perfect innings ; scores fast when set ; plays straight , watches the ball , and seldom lets off a loose one ; is a splendid field , and can bowl a bit ; did good service for his county (Herts). N. T. Holmes : A painstaking and energetic cricketer in all departments of the game, though he excels in none ; can bowl, bat, field , and keep wicket all very creditably ; good at a pinch , possessing great pluck . W. M. Torrens : At the beginning of the season was a first -rate bat, makingruns consistently , but later on fell off unaccountably ; a good wicket- keeper, and fair point . *C. F. Hutton : A n excellent cover -point , and a safe andoccasionally brilliant catch ; disappointing bat . J. St. F. Fair (Captain for 1887) : A first -class bat, combining strong defence with byno means contemp- tible hitting power; thoroughly sound, his back play being particularly strong ; as a bowler , managedto get wickets in spite of his somewhatvariable pitch ; poor field ; can always be relied on to do his best . *L. G. Arbuthnot : A deter- minedbut not very scientific cricketer of the hitting order ; is fond of a pull ; a beautiful field in the country , with a good and quick return . *E. D. Mackie : W a sunfortunately disabled during part of the term ; a strong bat, with plenty of driving power; bowls slow round, but is rather erratic ; good field and catch . J. A. MacLaren: Asteady bowler, with a high delivery , usually keeping a good length , and getting up quickly off the pitch ; as a bat improved towards the end of the term; not a goodfield .
