HayDun: Adisap- pointing bat, but improving ; fields well at point and to his ownbowling , being verysmart with his hands ; a very useful lob bowler, on several occasions bowling with great success . H. T. Sydney Gedge : Improved steadily as a bat, latterly acquired considerable run-getting powers, though somewhat at the expense of correct cricket ; a very fine long -field ; occasionally bowls , in a rather erratic style . *D. Linzee Evans : Instinctively a cricketer ; a fine hitter and quick scorer , but a little uncertain in defence ; a smart and clean field , with a good return ; a very fair over-handbowler , occasionally bowling with great success . P. Donaldson : Bowls fairly fast (left hand), and on his day is good, using his head more than is usual with boys ; but he is not to be depended on; the smartest field (near in) in the team, sometimes brilliant ; improved greatly in batting, and showed perhaps the greatest natural instinct for the gameof any memberof the eleven . Donald M'Lachlan : Only got into the team towards the endof the season ; a fair bat, cutting well ; as a field is fairly good with his hands, but very slow on his legs ; takes wickets occasionally , but lacks smartness . HowardSavory : His style of batting is too stiff , and he always seems to play late for the ball ; a very hard-working field , but might be cleaner with his hands. * Wilfrid M ' D. Sing : Has a style of batting peculiarly his own, and makes runs quickly off loose bowling, but has little or no defence ; a poor field . Robert B. Pearson : Showed the best form and style in batting of any of the eleven , but wantspowerto makeruns ; a moderate field ; bowls slow over-hand, effective on a dead wicket . Ernest C. de Moubray: Showed considerable hitting powers at the beginning of the season , especially to leg, but wentcompletely out of form at the end; a very fair long-field , being very fast on his legs , but does not pick up as clean as hemight ; captain for 1890. *J. Lindsay Henderson : At the beginning of the year he was a good wicket -keeper , but latterly lost his form entirely , mainlyfrom sore hands ; a fine field , with a good return ; a poor bat. J. A. Stuart Paton: Afair defensive bat, with a useful andrun-getting stroke off his legs ; too slow to be a good field , and has a trick of " juggling " with the ball when- ever he picks it up which quite spoils his return ; a very useful bowler , slow mediumpace.
