Brentwood College Magazine P. HlNTON: A slow, but useful, batsman who has at times helped to break down the bowling by his patience. A very keen field. D. WlLBY: Has considerable ability as a bat, who has not come off this season. He is far too inclined to nibble at balls outside his off stump. Slow left hand bowler who has broken up several partnerships. Very keen and useful field at point. I. GILLESPIE: A very hard hitting bat. who has made some useful scores. His defense is im- proving. A sound swing bowler who will be most helpful to the side when he learns to control it, and to bowl to his field. Very good field. A. BROWN: A greatly improved bat, who, now that he is going out to the ball, is developing shots all round the wicket. Is improving as a wicket-keeper, but is still too inclined to snatch at the ball. J. A. ANGUS: An improving left-hand bat with several good scoring shots, his defense is at present weak. Should develop into a useful medium off spin bowler. Very fair field, who is improving. A. MACDONALD: As a bat he is slowly improving. Has the makings of a good bowler, when he overcomes his match nervousness. Good field. G. WlLBY: His batting has not come up to the promise of last season, needs to be more deter- mined to overcome his bad shots. Very slow in the field. Fair change bowler. J. M. McCLEAN: Has made a great effort to improve his batting and has come on consider- ably. Slow in the field. Must make up his mind to get his body in front of the ball. The following also played for the 1st XI: H. Rogers and C. Stewart. ( Colours.) CRICKET NOTES BRENTWOOD COLLEGE vs. VICTORIA CRICKET CLUB Played on May 6th at Brentwood — Lost Victoria C.

Brentwood College Magazine THE cricket season of 1 9 39 was the most successful which the school has had for many years. We had a side which was exceptionally strong in batting, though it failed to make scores which did it justice in some of the most important matches, owing to over-anxiety. The bowling was fair: there were plenty of bowlers in the side, but no one, with the possible exception of A. Gillespie, who was really difficult to play. After a poor start, the team developed into a really good fielding side, inspired by the example of Johnston, Holmes and Hinton. Much credit is due to Captain Levien and Mr. Hincks for their careful coaching and to Johnston for his excellent captaincy of the team, especially in the latter part of the term. The new nets with their wooden wickets were a great success and should be a valuable asset to Brentwood cricket for many years. CRICKET— 1939 Characters A. K. JOHNSTON (Captain) : There is a marked improvement in the way that he has captained the side, especially in the field, with the result the fielding of the side has greatly improved. His bowling changes have been well thought out. He is a good bat, who lacks the restraint which a captain should have, to set a sound example to his side. His bowling has not be ( en so successful this season, but he has several useful bowlers to fall back on. An ex- cellent field in any position. A. GILLESPIE (Vice Captain) : A very useful all round cricketer. His batting especially has improved by his honest endeavor to do what he has been told. Useful bowler, though at times inclined to bowl short of a length. Very good field. D. HOLMES : A very much improved bat, who hits the ball hard, and has developed some very nice scoring shots. Very good deep field. [Page Fifteen]
