L ester , as captain, has been extremely successful, and has greatly raised the standard of the eleven; a first-rate bat; hits hard, and defends his wicket we ll; fields very well at cover-point, picking 1 up and throwing in w e ll; a sure catch, with great judgment. H. H. W. M ato , by far the prettiest bat in the eleven, hitting especially clean on the leg side; has improved greatly during the season, and ought to be really brilliant next season; an.uncertain bowler, but a splendid field, and sure catch in the long field. E. A. N epean , a very steady bat, greatly improved since last season, making muchmore use of his hitting powers; a good bowler, with a great amount of break either way; a fair field. J. S. G. G renfell * as a bat has hardly kept up the form he showed at the beginning of the season, thoagh he has played some good innings; in his capacity of wicket-keeper lias done good service for the eleven. A. G. T onks ,* a very powerful bat, hitting'very hard, especially on the on side, though perhaps a little too fond of the latter stroke; a sure catch, and good field at long-leg. W. S. S heldon ,* as a bat rather stiff, though hitting hard at times; should make more use of forward play ; a very sure catch, and a splendid field anywhere in the country. E. D. M oney * as a bat showed great promise at the beginning of the season, but owing to an accident wras unfortunately laid up during the middle of the season; sinco then he has been rather disappointing; a fast bowler, though rather uncertain. E. T. H obbs ,* a hard hitter, though rather uncertain bat, but has sometimes made runs when most needed; as a bowler has not fulfilled the expectations formed of his last season, though he has been successful at times ; a fair field. G. R. H eath , an uncertain bat; is too cramped in his forward play, being too eager to hit at well-pitched balls; has done most of the work in the bowling department during the season, and ought to be very good next year. H. S. L ovibond ,* a poor bat, much too fond of applying a horizontal bat to a straight ball; a fair bowler, being successful on one or two occasions; a good field at long leg. H. G. PAprLLONhas only played in two matches, and has been rather disappointing; is junch too fond of hitting, and has not much idea of playing forward; an extremely brilliant field, and a sure catch at long leg.
