Scott : A good batsman, watching the ball well , andnot losing m a n ychances of scoring ; next to the captain the most reliable on a difficult wicket. A steady bowler with a curlin the air at times . Agood gronnd field , but unsafe catch . *W. E. T. Bosanquet : Ahard-hitting batsmanwith gooddefence, and fine strokes on the off . Hasfielded well at point . Bowls a dfficult ball at times, but as a rule very expensive as a bowler. E. G. Martin : T h ebest bowler in the XI.; steady and straight , though occasionally inclined tobe short . Hasa fair idea of batting andcanhit hard ; whenstronger he will be very useful . Nota good field . C. V. Rowe: A very steady batsman, play- ingwell off his legs and cutting very well , but apt to play half-cock. Fielded well at mid-off. S. M. Macnaghten : Has made an excellent substitute when required for the usual wicket -keeper , being muchabove the average of school stumpers. A nactive and hard-working field anywhere, with smart return . A fair batsman, likely to improve . W. Findlay : A splendid wicket -keeper , seldom allowing the ball to escape from his hands; quick, but perfectly free from unnecessary display . Asa catcher has few equals , and preventible byes havebeen almost unknown. Bats in a style of his own, and is difficult to get out; he canhit hard, and next year ought to makelong scores . (Captain for 1899). H. K. Longman: Muchimproved as a batsman; cuts well and scores fast whenset ; very quick between the wickets , and a good judge of a run. fine field at cover -point , and generally a safe catch . P. Loraine : Asteady medium-pace bowler, keeping a good length , but without muchsting . Bats in good style , and next year should be a fine batsman. Slow in the field , but fairly safe . G.H.Smith : Bowls straight and fast , and has often been most useful . A powerful hitter , and with better defence would be a dangerous batsman. Workshard in the field , and has done some brilliant things , but should not leave his place at short slip before the ball is struck , unless- obviously owing to leg. quick.but H A I L E Y B U R Y C O L L E G E , Captain for 1898.-W.
