Finney (13.2), a good and sure bat; fair bowler and excellent field; a tower of strength in every way. J. G. F. Nicholson (11.8). is a pretty bat, especially on the off side; is also a good point and wicket-keeper. Johnston (10) was unfortunate in batting, except on one or two occasions; as long-stop he fielded splendidly. J. H. Holden (8.8), stylish and good bat, but too eager to make runs; cuts well; a poor field, but most serviceable as a change bowler. H. D.
