W. White : Areliable bat, with strong defence and a brilliant cut. Bowls a dangerous ball , but his length is veryuncertain . Proved himself to be an excellent captain . *E. W. Elliot : Promises to develop into a first -class cricketer . Has learnt to combinea steady defence with his brilliant hitting powers. A fair bowler and a good short slip . *G. B. T. Metcalfe : Auseful painstaking bat, with more strokes on the on-side than the off. Amoderate bowler and very fair field . *E. W. Grubb : W a sunfortunately out of form this year. A patient bat, but fails to punish a loose ball . A successful point . W. M. Turner : A strong player onthe off-side , but is at present weak on his leg stump. A steady bowler, with a certain amount of work from the off. A safe field . *P. B. Warburton : A good left -hand slow bowler. Hadnot manywickets to suit him this year, but madeexcellent use of his few opportunities . Asa bat can score freely ,buthis defence is very poor. H. R. Holland : A correct bat, but his strokes lack power. Played a good innings onmorethan one occasion when runs were badly wanted . Afair field . C. D. A. Crofton : Only played at the endofthe season, and then quite justified his selection by his wicket -keeping , especially in the two School matches . Amoderate bat at present , but likely to improve. H. W. Atchison : Apromising bat with a good drive on the off . Slow,but fairly safe in the field . Might develop into a slow bowler next year . *E. N. Tandy : Watches the ball carefully , but is frequently late in his strokes . Fielded as well as anybody in somematches. *C. D. G. Lyon: A hard hitter withnodefence . Hispace andthrowing madehima very useful field in the country. W E S T M I N S T E R S C H O O L . Captain for 1896.-C. D. Fisher . R e s u l t so f M a t c h e s .
