Andrews(6.5) : H a sbatting in him,but seldom exhibits his scoring powers , although he did well early on, seems nervous ; canbowl a fair slow ball , but cannot stand being hit ; not a good field , although he has taken oneor twosmartcatches. *HBird(11.6) : A useful m e m b e rof the team; a free left-handed b a t s m a nwithn o nerves, anda good changebowler; neat field . H. Ereaut(9.2) : Didnot c o m eoff asabat on the whole,though hecankeep up his wicket w h e nset ; a fair change bowler, who maydevelop later on; wants confidence in the field ; is very good at getting betweenthe wickets in a short run. F. Joslin (6) : A promising bowler , left -hand with a good length, coming a good deal with the arm; a sticking bat,but not very successful in matches thisyear. B O W L I N G A V E R A G E S . Overs.
