St. Hill (18): Much improved as a bat ; very strong and free on the off, but sometimes fails to time the ball on his legs ; played an excellent innings v. M.C.C.; a fine field anywhere , and a very useful change bowler against second -rate bats ; had a successful season as captain . A. B. Ross (35.7 ): Has got rid of m a n yof his faults, and shows promise of being a really good bat; h e is too anxious to get runs quickly , andhas lately developed a bad stroke off the wicket to leg; has beenofgreat use to his side, andplayed a fine innings against Clifton. A. B. Wilson: H a s beenunable to play m u c hfromill-health; at present showslittle promise. T. S. Wilson (10.2): Bats in excellent style , and will be good if he learns to watch the ball ; disappointing as a bowler, seemsto wantpluck andperseverance; not certain enoughin the field , andis apt to let hotones alone . L. Mossop (18) : Very promising , though rather uncertain ; watches the ball , and has played several good innings ; fair in the field . *W. J. Leaky (4.3 ) : A very poor bat; a promising fast bowler , with plenty of swing . W. J. Smyth (5.6 ) : A pro- mising left -hand bowler ; perhaps the best bowler in the eleven ; straight , with good length ; whenhecan commandbreak should be very good; a quick , good field ; at present a poorbat. E . L. Storrar(14) : A veryhard-hitting bat, w h ohasdone good service o n occasions ; lacks defenceverym u c h; agood field . *N. G. Alston(7.7): Apoorbat, with nodefence; hasoften taken the wickets very creditably . W. P. Haydon(10) : A promising bat, with very fair defence ; should be good ; avery fair field , sometimes bringing off astonishing catches . *R. L. Storrar (1.2): A good , quick field , with a smart return ; apoorbat. B O W L I N G A V E R A G E S .. T. S. Wilson............ W .J. Leaky U L T E.A. St. Hill W .J. Smyth. O v e r s. Maidens.
