Stevens : Has the making of an excellent cricketer , but at present hardly shows enough keenness about the game; a safe catch , but a poor field . S H R E W S B U R Y S C H O O L .

B. Raikes (Captain ) : to nopublic school batsman of the year ; plays a straight , hard andsound game, hitting to leg with great brilliancy and certainty . Has been fairly successful with the ball , but is too short to be dangerous to the batsmen who are not afraid to face him; an excellent field ; a thoroughly successful captain . J. Burrough : Asteady and careful batsman, with afine off -drive , but rather pokycut ; is too apt to lift the ball , especially in leg -hitting ; has been an invaluable bowler ; afairly accurate but not faultless slip . W. Ruston : Has been rather disappointing with theball ; will bat with more certainty whenhegets steadier in his ground, times the ball better and improves his defence ; can drive and punish weakbowling ; a painstaking but uncertain field , whois deficient in smartness .
