CHAR.-XCTI-QRS OF THE 1st XI MORGAN fCapt.i+Developed splendidly w7th the bat and had a good season. Strong on the off side, had a good defence, but his leg side play is weak as yet and he is too charitable to balls short of a length. A very useful bowler, and sound in the field. As a captain he was keen and intelligentg seldom has the School side been as well handled. He has a genuine interest in, and a love for cricket and will be a credit to the game. MOR.-XNT fYice-Capt!-Had another splendid season as a bowler, turning the ball from the off and keeping a length. No opposing school batsman was able to play him, and his figures for the season do him credit and are a just reward for keen and con- sistent play. Enthusiastic but none too reliable in the field. A weak batsman. PIQYX-JONES-Possessed style and the strokes but was far too passive and lethargic and was once again a failure with the bat. Proved on occasion that he could bowl but was not interested in this department of the game. Fair in the field but lacked the vital enthusiasm. SHAXV-Did not have a good season with the bat and paid the pen- alty for inadequate defence. Has a good eye and can score fast on occasion. Started the season well with the ball but was by no means consistent. Keen and active in the field. Is enthusiastic and will yet do well. ll.-XKER-Yery keen and a most useful member of the side in all de- partments oi the game. His injury in mid-season was a great loss. CLIFFORD I-Made few runs but came on considerably with the bat. He is developing an adequate defence, and, with physique, the runs will co-ne. Active in the field, possesses the necessary keenness, and continues to show real promise. COX--Very much improved with the bat. Has some good shots in front of the wicket and times the ball well on the leg side. His footwork is faulty, but when he has learnt to play back properly he should make runs. Rather slow in the held and lacking in anticipation. , SHIPLEY I-Made a promising beginning as a wicket-keeper though really too big a man for that position. Keen and willing at al! times. Too passive with the bat at present, but with increased confidence may yet do well. VVHITTOMF-Somewhat improved with the bat but never came off. His bowling lacked fire and was too often short of a length. Uncertain in the field. DUKE-A weak batsman, he showed little improvement on last year's form, Quick and alert in the field he caught some good catches at backward point. COTTER-A hard hitter with a good eye but nothing in the way of defence. A very useful fielder at cover from which position his throwing was very fast and accurate. An uncertain catch. 20
