Carter (Captain ) : A very steady bat , withexcellent defence , but carried back play to excess ; never fulfilled his early promise as a bowler, but improved very muchas a captain . * V. S. Menzies : Thebest all -round cricketer wehave had for manyyears ; a capital field at slip , very fine batsman, and a first -rate school bowler. *A. P. Crawley : W a son the wholea disappointing bat ; could play very fine cricket , but did not always do so ; better defence than last year; slow field . *J. S. Scott : Waspursued by some hardluck, as at football , in formof constant illness ; but for this w e think he wouldhavemorethan madeup for ill -success in former years ; played in excel- lent style , and was a smart field . L. Dale : Agreatly improved bat ; with more strength next year should score largely ; a very fair field ; used to bowl. H. Tapsfield : His batting average is far below whatit should be ; plays in a really good style of cricket , and we are at a loss to account for his failure ; wesaid two years ago he wasthe coming bowler ; unfortunately he is so still . W.B. Jenyns : Hasmadewonderful improvement as a bat, and deserves great credit ; better style we hope will come; a good field . *F. Mellersh : A free , run-getting bat, withplenty of confidence ; a very valuable memberof the eleven in this respect . E. E. Lea: Gives great promise with the ball , and we hope will not, like so many, change his style ; the pace " kills " the bowler far more than the bats- m a n; m a yturn out a good bat, but has not muchstyle at present . F. Vizard : A nelegant bat, with great respect for the ball ; was considered a good point ; withmoredash might still makea very good cricketer . W. J. Gellibrand : Hits very well , but has not muchdefence ; not a bad field whenawake. *B. Pinni- ger: Playedin most of the matches for the eleven , and captained the second eleven against Radley; batted very creditably , rarely failing to make runs , and played in very fine form ; a fine field .
