Parker hit the ball very cleanly, but he does not strike me as having very much defence. He is undoubtedly a batsman who should go in late, when the edge is off the bowling.

Bowker bowled very well, as usual; and had he been better supported in the field would have had a far better analysis But the fielding on the whole was good especially the ground fielding Ramsay is very good in the slips and with H. bock and Owen Hughes we need not worry about the fielding in that department.
