1 7 8 L I L L YW H I T E ' SC R I C K E T E R S' A N N U A L. RADLEY COLLEGE ELEVEN.-*F. J. Portman : The most successful bat, and incomparably the best bowler on the side . He sometimes threw his wicket awayby reckless hitting , and spoilt his bowling analysis by going on too long without arest . H efields smartly and accurately . G. T. Lee : Didso well last year that great things were expected of him. It cannot be said that he has fulfilled our hopes as a bat, though he played somegood innings . Haskept wicket in good style . *R. M. T. Gillson : H a sbeen quite out of luck in batting all through the season , though he did his best to commandsuccess . In bowling h ehasdone fairly well, and he always works his hardest in the field whether bowling or not . His cheerfulness under adversity is beyond praise . *E. А. Т. Bayly: A n improved bat with a good stroke in front of cover ; too fond of a pull . Excellent field , and at one time looked like making a bowler . * Γ΄ . Η. Wilson : Avery pretty bat,hitting hard for his size . Abadstroke in the slips led to his downfall very often . Fair field . H. M. Worsley : A promising cricketer ; batted well at the beginning of the season , but since his illness seems to have lost nerve, and runs away from the ball . Steady slow bowling . Respectable field . M. Burr : Bats in good style , but lacks scoring power. Slowin thefield andnotover safe. A. G. Biden: Rathera stiff bat,butshows promise . Occasionally gets wickets , and almost always fielded very well in the slips . *C. E. Bagot: Hasvery ugly style , and not manystrokes , butwas useful in several matches . Not a sound or very hard-working field . A. M. Hilton : Adisappointing bat ; runs away from a ball on the leg stump. Has fielded very well at point. R. H. Cotter : Can hit to leg well, but does not play straight . Clumsy and uncertain in the field . R E P T O NS C H O O L . Captain for 1896.- F. R. D'O. Monro. R e s u l t so f M a t c h e s .
