James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Companion 1884

200 the season, and seems to have worn off mnch of his stiffness ; long-stop, and a fair field when required ; has lately developed talent as a round-arm bowler. E. C M arsh has developed a wonderfully licking and effective style, being particularly strong on the leg side; has well earned, by his steady play throughout the season, the bat presented to him; an uncertain field. P. E. H arrison punishes loose bowling most freely, especially strong at a peculiar stroke on the offside; can bowl a little; a poor field! J B. R awlinson did not play in the first few matches, but has since shown himself an excellent round-arm bowler; gets plenty of work on the ba ll; a fluky bat and only moderate field. T. M. P ike has shown himself a thorough all-round cricketer in embryo, though he has not as yet made his mark in any one branch of the game in particular. A. W. L emarchand at the beginning of the season showed great promise as a bat and bowler, but has not been so successful since; generally a safe field. BATTING AVERAGES. Times Most in Inns, not out.

Members, 260. Ground, 11 acres. Subs., 21s. Colours, carmine and white. Distance from Highgate Station, 10 minutes’ walk. Matches, 21—wron 11, lost 3, drawn 7. A. W ilmer (capt.), invaluable as a bowfler, with great command over the ball both in pitch and pace, with considerable break from leg; a careful and painstaking bat; safe field; his captaincy has been marked by good judgment and zeal, and he has piloted the eleven well through a very successful season. W. L. B. H atter , a most brilliant and safe field, equally efficient anywhere, returns the ball splendidly; a good and pretty bat, but should drive more; cuts very well, and is a safe leg hitter. W. R. M ason , a hard-hitting and useful bat; cuts balls off his off stump too much, thereby often losing his wricket; a capital field, with good return. G. H annaford , a most dangerous run-getter, his driving being very clean and good; uncertain as a field. G. W. P owers , rather stiff bat, but has made the most runs, being very hard to get out when once set; a most steady and useful bowler, with plenty of command over the ball. J. B. L loyd , careful but not a pretty ba t ; often makes runs when most wanted, but lets all leg balls off; useful but erratic change bowler. A. E. B * ll , steady bat, and brilliant field for his size; fair bowler. A. H. F ord , very fair wicket-keep; a poor bat, very deficient in defence. H. F. J acob , a steady and stylish bat, with fine defence; fair field. H. B. F rench , excellent field at point; unsteady bat. H. E. H ughes , the most stylish bat in the team, using his shoulders well; apt to play forward too much; wonderfully steady. D. G ator has the making of a good bat, with slashing style; useful slow bowler.
