New’bolt ,.. 40 9 94 5 18.8 UPPINGHAM SCHOOL. Capt., L. OnruiiD. Matches, 9—w o n 1, lost 5, drawn 3. L. O rford ,* a very good all. round player; as a bat he can drive and hit to leg w e l l ; plays forward with a straight bat; a good change bowler; can keep wicket well, and a good field anywhere; was a very good captain last season; goes to Cambridge. J. H. R oberts * has greatly improved since last year, and developed into a very hard hitter, driving especially well and hard on the off side ; has not been quite so successful lately as at the beginning of the season, owing, we think, to rather careless play in the games and at practice; as a bowler was fairly successful in the first few matches; is very quick in the field, and has a safe pair of hands; goes to Cambridge. C. C. S tone * has been of great service to the eleven this year, and has always come to the rescue at a critical moment; is a very careful and painstaking bat, with strong defence, but rather weak punishing powers; he has bowled well all through the season ; a good field, especially in the slips, also ;! good out-field. W. H. T hompson * has not turned out so well as was expected from hb play at the beginning of the season; is rather too fond of trying to get balls that are on the wickets away to the leg side; can bowl at a pinch; is very slow and uncertain in the field. H. N. B. R ichardson , a good bat, with a free style, and can cut and drive well, but is very short of confidence; a fair field, but open to improvement in that department; will be captain next year. W . F. W hitweix , a useful all-round man ; he puts his bat straight and hard against the ball, but is a great deal too fond of forward play ; he has bowled very successfully all through the season, and on his ground is very hard to p la y ; as a field he stops the ball well and throws in neatly, but is rather unfortunate in catches, owing, we think, to want of confidence. T. E. Eccrxs has not been very successful this year; he does not play with a very straight bat, and is too fond of trying to get runs on the leg side from straight ba lls ; he hits hard, and, if allowed to stop in, can score freely; a fair change bowler; is pretty safe in the field, and throws in well, but is too fond of looking about h im ; we think that his careless practice has had a good deal to do with his want of success. L. M artineau , a very useful and patient batsman, playing in good form, and with a straight bat, but with a tendency to reach forward too much ; he ought to be of good service to the eleven next year w'hen he is a little stronger, and w i l f be able to punish loose balls rather more severely. J. G. P hilpott , a fair bat, but seems to want confidence; has lately come on as a slow bowler, with a break from the off, and has bowled sometimes with ^reat effect; a good field, especially at point, where he is very active. e * Has le ct*
