Considering the conditions which prevailed during a greater part of the season it wasnot to be expected that the batsmen would generally be as successful as in the previous season . A t intervals the grounds were in favour of run-getting , but the intervals were only rare , and during a great part of the summerthe wickets helped the bowlers more or less . As a consequence , though the best averages were under the circumstances very creditable , there were no figures to reach those of Mr. Stoddart , Mr. Jackson , Gunn, and Shrewsbury in 1893. Still thirteen batsmen had averages of 30 or over ; forty -six others of 20 and upwards. Taking into consideration the general condition of the grounds , it was a creditable performance for eleven batsmen to reach over a thousandruns. Brockwell's batting was the feature of the year. H e scored a hundredno fewer than five times, all the innings being played at Kennington Oval . In addition to having the highest average (38.9 ) Brockwell scored more runs than anyone else . One of themostreliable batsmen of the year was J. T. Brown, the Yorkshire professional , whofor the first time scored over a thousand runs . H ecomes out third amongst the professionals , being behind Brockwell and Abel, while he just beats by a fraction bothMauriceReadandG u n n. Messrs. Stoddart andPalairet comeout well, and W .G.
