Padwick*, a dangerous hitter, with improved defence, and a brilliant field, always saving a lot o f ra i ls ; an excellent captain. H. T. Keeling,* a fine cover point and steady bat, but lets off too many loose ones ; bowls Tather erratically, but often gets a good wicket. L. 0 . Meyrick has still a strong defence, though it was not always manifested, and has developed a free hit to leg this y e a r ; improved, but needs more improvement in the field. J. P. Cheales,* a thoroughly sound bat, good medium-pace bowler, and unerring field. T. R. Sale* hits hard after his own fashion, and on his day a most formidable fast b ow le r ; improved in the field. E. C. C. Firth,* a very ^ o o d field and fair bat. T. G. Buchanan, a quick, neat point and pretty bat-, but does not punish enough, and should put more confidence in his own powers. E. B. Sheppard * bats in neat style, but fell off after his promotion into the e leven ; too slow to be an effective slow bowler, though he has a considerable lyreak, and is*afraid o f pitch ing up the ball. F. Meyrick-Jones, a run-getting bat, and has a qu ick e y e ; has a bad habit o f standing out of his ground ; may become a good bowler. C. E. Ashfield bats in nice form and fields well, though he rather lacks life in each department; a fair change bowler, who should improve* M. A . Bere,* a useful change bowler, and can hit a loose b a l l ; an improving field. • * * Has left* - * J w ’ •I iffl * t • f BATTING AVERAGES . J f ' <L # • ♦r i 4 r • A f ft » J* P.
