1 6 6 LILLYWHITE'SC R I C K E T E R S' A N N U A L R E T to wicket -keeping and met with considerable success . A. F. Soames-A most promising bat,as he plays straight ,watches the ball carefully ,and hits surprisingly hardall round. Is capable of rising to the occasion . Avery useful change bowler, and with practice should improve a lot . Has worked hard in the field andcome on. *C. O. Sich-One of the most improved players in the team. His defence is stronger and he hits harder . Has a very nice stroke in front of cover , and seldom lets off a leg ball . Bowled occasionally . Safe though slow in the field . E. B. T. Lee-A steady slow-mediumbowler ,who gets manywickets with a ball that comes withhisarm. Keeps agoodlength andis rather deceptive . Disappointed expectations as a bat . Goodfield at slip . F. J. Portman-A fair change bowler with a nice high action . W h e nhe gets a better length he should be good. Fair field and bats in good style , but is too fond of missing straight balls and hitting catches . H. L. Wethered-Apromising bat, playing very hard for his size . Cuts well . Fair field at slip . H. H. Sich -A keen cricketer : hits hard and fields enthusiastically . Safe catch in the country . A. D. Bradford -Amuch improved bat . Hits very hard on the on-side . Not a good field , though he sometimes does a smart thing . R E P T O NS C H O O L . Captain for 1893.-- E. Beazley . R e s u l t so f M a t c h e s .
