The poor score made by the Engineers can only be accounted for by the extremo keenness of their opponents, both in
bowling and in fielding. The R. E. have come to depend so much on Wahl and Waller that the early dismissal of these two affected the team very adversely. Wahl lost his wicket through over- anxiety to start slogging as soon as he got to the wicket, but Waller was sent hack by a ball that surprised him by keeping dead straight and low. Waller had a fine average earlier this season, but has fared none too well on his inst two appearances Nevertheless, he is a dependable batsman, and his side looks to him for more big scores this season.
