Sec., F. H. O’Donoglyuc ; Capt. G. H. Cotterill. Colonrs, blue and magenta. Matches, 12—won 1, lost 7, d raw n 4. C. H. Bond (6.14), a neat long-stop; his batting , though careful and pa ins tak ing , is somewhat wanting in energy. B. Cass (5 .5 ) , a steady, bu t not very difficult, left-handed bow ler; his b a tting is a t present at an elementary stage. E. H. Cole* (6.3) bats w ith some sp irit and in fair form, but is too uncertain to remain long a t the w ickets; a good field. N. C. Cooper (6.1), a capital field; his batting has so far been more prom ising than successtul. G. H. Cotterill (35.3), captain ; a first-rate bat, who has been the mainstay of our team, having contributed nearly one-third of the runs made by the eleven during the season; he has also shown excellent form in the field a t cover-point. A. II. C. Hamilton, 12th man, a dark horse only tried at the end of the season ; came out wonderfully both as bat and bowler. F. II. O’Donoghue (10.11), sec., lias improved very much as a b a t ; his bowling, though somewhat heavy in style and expensive a t the beginning of the season, was successful on more than one importan t occasion. W. S. Paskin (3.6), rather slow in the field, and a disappointing b a t ; he shows some form, but has not the energy to use it. L. C. Raymond (7.1), a very useful and steady b a t ; his fielding was often calamitous. W. J . Richardson (6.9) ba ts left-hand with considerable spirit, and in promising form. E. W. H. R itchie (4.3), an effective left-hand bowler, who was of great use throughout the season, in sp ite of the g rea t demands made on his s treng th ; much improved as a bat. C. L. Wilson (15.3), a most promising young cricketer all round; bats steadily and in good fo rm ; fields capitally a t point, and is a straight and useful bowler. . * Has left. MALVERN COLLEGE . Capt., F . Yardley. Ground, 2 \ acres. Colours, blue, magenta, and fawn. Matches, 14— von 7, lost 6, drawn 2. F . Yardley (capt.), his batting has not been as successful as it vould have been bu t for an acciden t; his bowling is very fair, though short, but his ielding is b rillian t. J . H. Copleston, fast developing into a first-class bat, has played ieveral excellent innings, and has improved; has a good style, bu t a little flourish a t imes. P. E. Harrison, a good steady bat, bu t has been rather unlucky in getting runs, s still a difficult wicket to g e t ; has improved in the field. T. M. Pike, a neat and >ood ba t fields very well, with a good return . J. B. Rawlinson, a good fast bowler vith p lenty of work on the ball, bu t apt to lose his head if punished; sometimes makes nus • no()T field A. W. Lemarchand, a fast bowler always on the wicket, a t times has ™ — x*---- -K^or* on snmftsflfnl in batting as might have been * w - — — — xpected ; a cap ita l neici au.ywiie.it . , - o— bowl er , with fair ireak both ways ; by far the most useful bowler m the eleven ; fields very well a t long lip • in b a t t in g is a powerful hitter, but not much style. G. C. Boosey, a very fa ir a t •*oue lit to be good next season; smart field at point. H. J . Sedgwick, an effective a t in a pecu liar style of his own; good long-stop. J . B. Aldridge, a promising bat, bu t as no t come off much this y e a r ; fair field. A. D. Clark has a good idea of ba tting , S l a c k s “ |o u r ; ve ry slow in the field. A. F.
