Neilson : His batting was unproductive till the season was half over ; during the last monthhe made runs freely ; a really good batsman , playing straight and hard on the ball , with fine powers of hitting ; an excellent captain , understanding the game thoroughly , and inspiring others with confidence ; a change bowler, and a very good field anywhere. J. N. Millar : Promised well last year, buthas madevery few runs, though a painstaking and energetic cricketer ; plays forward well , but pulls awaybadly on the leg side in hitting and in playing back ; quick and sure in the out-field . W. Paterson : Seemingly useless at first , hehas bowled with marked success during the latter part of the season , and done somevery good performances with the ball ; a very stiff ugly bat, but with strong wrist power, and can hit a loose ball very hard on the off side ; at the beginning of the season he maderuns onseveral occasions whenno one else could , but his batting , curiously enough, deteriorated fromthe time he wasreinstated as a regular bowler; a good field . R. T. Bell : Apromising bowler at first , but changed his style and became almost useless ; a good bat in practice , though weak in back play , but has been a sorry failure in matches; too muchof a shoulder -and-arm batsman, with little wrist work; afairly goodfield far out, very quick onhis legs , and asafe catch . R. Gul- land : Bats in good style , and has played on several occasions very well , showing
