James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual 1888

T H EUNIVERSITIES AND PUBLIC SCHOOLSIN 1887. 1 5 7 but the hard wickets have been muchagainst him; one of the best fields , and has the best return , in the XI.; a plucky and greatly improved bat, though no " great shakes " for all that ; a very good judge of a run. Maxwell Rose (1885-7 ): Almostentirely lost his bowling , though once or twice towards the end of the term did pretty well ; has slightly altered his action , and so lost commandof pitch; a poor field ; bats with the same vigour , pluck, and want of defence as before. Harry Sydney Gedge (1887 ) : Afair defensive bat, but rather wanting in confidence ; a very hard-working field , and never loses heart ; a fairly good long catch . David Linzee Evans (1887) : A n uncertain bat, but vigorous and with plenty of " go " ; a steady medium-paced to fast bowler, keeping them straight and fairly well pitched ; a moderate field , but works hard the whole t i m e.
