Thoughof fourteen matches five were lost , on the whole the eleven proved themselves to be a strong all -round combination , and this in the face of some, and by no means small , difficulties . In the first place the eleven was rarely indeed quite representative . Neither Lord Harris , Mr. Patterson , Mr. M. C. K e m p, nor Mr. Rashleigh could play very often , andGeorge Hearne, once one of the safest of run-getters , wasbyno means in his best form. The
