B utlx * played some brilliant innings, but rather uncertain a3 a bat; must learn to piav leg-stump balls with more confidence ; useful man in the out field. C. D. B uxtox a steady batsman, with good defence; cuts brilliantly; likely to be very good with increased strength of another year; should develop also into a good bowler. A. R Cox, the wicket-keeper of the eleven, filling the post carefully and creditably; has a* great capacity for taking pains, and should prove a very useful bat next year. H. r C rawley acted efficiently as captain, a post which he fills also in 1834; a good bat with hitting power all round, but apt to be over anxious, and therefore uncertain, at first; good at mid-off, where he made brilliant catches. A. F. D alglish took ’the wicket in the early part of the season, but migrated afterwards to cover-point, where he showed himself aquick and sure field; a fair bat. T. G reatorex , the average of this gentleman speaks for itself—an average unapproached at Harrow, and probably rarely equalled at any school; with increasedpractice should become first-rate. Good field at cover-point or cover-slip. B. A. F. G rieve , a good long-stop and fair bat; bowlg the old-fashioned fast under-hand, with good length and slight break from the off. H. T. H ewbtt , not so successful in batting as in the previous year; constantly lost his wicket fromhitting at off balls not well within reach ; straight and stead}' medium, pace bowler. F. H. O ates , a most useful man in the team, having good defence and great patience; is sure to improve; fields well at point and bowls slow left-hand. V. T hompson promised well early in the season, but got careless, apparently, after getting into the eleven, and quite lost his cricket; slow round-arm bowler, but too small tobe very effective. W. A. R. Y oung only played in the last few matches; a slow or, perhaps, medium-pace bowler, with good "natural delivery; will be good another year if he doesnot try to bowl too fast; a rapidly improving bat.
