Bowlers reaped a harvest of wickets in both championship and friendly games, and several reached double figures. Andrews, of Somerset, was in great form and was mainly responsible for Kent's smashing defeat at Bath, taking 6 for 62 and 4 for 31 to dismiss the losers for 116 and 73, in the first and second innings, respec- tively.
Eastman, who finished second, in Essex's bowling averages last season, was in a deadly mood at Peterborough, and contributed in no small measure to Northants' defeat, capturing 10 wickets for 77 runs in the course of the match. V W. C. Jupp, the Northants amateur trundler was also in a dangerous mood and had 9 for 70 for the match.
