Wyatt-Smith (captai n ) : Never quite got into his best form this season, but is a good straight bat, with considerable punishing power, an excellent field, and has been known to bowl. F. G . Stangri - Leathes: A fine free bat, with strong defence, and no mercy on loose bowling. A useful fast-medium bowler, with considerable break ; not helped by the wicket this season. II. F. Whinney: A painstaking cricketer, hardly so successful as was expected, but did good service occasionally. An excellent field. Fair bowler, deadly in a house match. W. O. Prichard: Shows lots o f promise both as bowler and bat. Had rather too much work for his strength on the hard wickets. 0. S. Wigan: Can hit with vigour if they will let him stop, but the bat is not always straight, and they get past. Brilliant field. Jj. Partridge : The “ Abel ” of the team —multurn in parvo. Keeps a level head, as well as a straight bat, and is consequently great at a crisis. G. E . Davy : Did not come off as a batsman, though he performed with great vigour occa­ sionally. A most useful bowler, having the best analysis for the season. A safe field, and a good all-round cricketer. G. W. Honnywill: Broke out as a bat with remarkable suddenness, and his success in that line improved his cricket all round. S. II. Brathy : From merely shaping well as wicket-keeper at the beginning developed considerable execution before the end of the term, and should hereafter perform really well. As a batsman more vigorous than scientific. C. Martin: Steady, useful bat. Steady, useful bowler. Unfortu­ nately indisposed during the first quarter of the season ; came strong at the finish. A . C. Temperley: Successful at the beginning and end o f term ; out of form in the central and most important period. Can hit, but lacks defence. L I 4 / K<l(f tjtfi . 1]
