Page(Captain ) : Agood bat with nice style , but not enough punishing power ; hardly did as muchas was expected of him: as captain , did not use his voice enough , or acquire the art of inspiring con- fidence into his team. G. H. Hewetson : Afair bat with plenty of confidence , and a good mediumpace bowler ; somewhat handicapped by weak health last season . W. O. Cautley : As a bowler , his only capacity , very disappointing this season owing partly to the wet wickets and partly to want of a brilliant point . C. H. Packer : A vastly improved player , especially as a bat, but for nervousness , might be nearly first -class ; a very useful , steady , slow bowler, curling from leg with a slight break from the off ; a first -rate short slip . J. B. Levey : The most dangerous bowler in his day, coming fast off the ground , sends downtoo manyon the leg side ; in the field rather careless , but at times brilliant with a beautiful return to the wicket . Handicapped by short sight . H. F. Stopford : A dis- appointing bat with a very pretty off drive , but unable to cure himself of playing across balls on the leg stump and short ones . A safe catch in the deep -field . G. H. Tapsfield : Auseful , careful bat, watching the ball well ; a fairly safe but slow field . W. G. King-Peirce : Played some useful innings , but hardly uses his length of reach as much as he ought ; plays very tamely on a slow wicket ; a fair field , but slow at starting . C. E. Kitchin : A plucky , if rather clumsy, wicket- keeper , improved from sheer determination , which also enabled him to hit some useful innings whenhitting was very muchwanted. M. Hastings : Uneven ; canhit nicely , and has done service as a change bowler , slow, very much over hand ; an active deep -field with a safe pair of hands . R. H. S. Truell : A very ugly crouching bat, whocould stick in, and also had some skill in steering a ball now and then through the slips ; a fair point .
