GRANT-Lethargic and not active enough as a wislet keeper and too apt to use his pads rather than his gloves. Somewhat improved as a bat and was beginning to develop the necessary confidence. SHAW'-Quick on his feet and hts the loose ball ha d but possesses little in the way of defence. Has had success with the ball against tailfend batsmen but his control of length is faulty 'and he bowls far too few good balls to worry a batsman of any experience. Fair in the field and has proved a useful member of the side. BAKER-The most improved member of the team and a natural hitter of real promise. He hits straight and times the ball well on the leg side. His defence, though not strong, has improved. A fair Held and not without promise as a bowler. RILEY-As a batsman he had some idea of defense but his attacking strokes were few. Keen in the field. WHITTOME-He has come on somewhat with the ball but his bowling lacks hostility as yet. Interest and effort would bring him wickets. A bad fielder. CLIFFORD-dHas developed a fair defence and a few strokes on the leg side but is too prone to nibble on the off side. Very keen in the field and has good hands. Enthusiastic to a degree and shows real promise. COX-Quite keen and promising. Strong on the leg side but his defence is by no means sound. Very fair in the field. THE CRICKET XI Shaw, Vvlhittome, Baker, Riley, Cox, Clifford I, Dalziel, Morgan, Morant, Brynflones, Grant 17
