THE NEW SOUTH WALES MATCH. NOTES ON CANTERBURY PLAYERS.

By ** Sticks." J. W. Collins—Batting really well. His only trouble is Jack of patience to stop in when he is well set, being always over anxious to get runs. Cau take wickets if required. L. A. Cuff—ls in fine form and batting well. He is somewhat weak in lettinc* the ball get high up in the slips and is liable to be caught there or at the wickets. He watches the ball thoroughly well. H. DeMaus —Batting- well, but has a tendency to smother a ball which if he stood back to he could score off. Should sharpen up in the field. His bowling is a bit off just now. J. N. Fowke—ls getting past his prime, but still a useful man in any team. H. Gunthorpe—Not bowling nearly so well of late as he did some time ago ; he seems to have lost heart through want of success, which is a pity. If he would study his length more, and keep his bowling well up he would do better. Rather young to be reliable in a big match, but this is a fault which will cure itself. A. M. Labatt —One of the few players who watch the ball from the pitch, and, considering his inches, he gets wonderfully well on to it. His bowling is as straight as ever.

.1. D. Lawrence—la in fair form ;*good on off-side, but should pay more attention to his on-st-okes. A grand field, and useful change bowler. P. Marshall—Has good punishing powers on off-side, but weak on leg. Should learn to play straighter. W. Pearce—His style of batting owing to his wonderfully good eye generally succeeds. Would make a magnificent bat if he could learn to play straight. A hard bowler to score off, being so dangerously straight. A. E. Ridley—This man stoops too much in his batting, and is inclined to get too far nnder the ball. His fielding will probably find him a place iv the team.

H. C. Ridley—Batting well; but I would suggest that he keeps his tight leg a little more still. Is hitting well all round.

D. Reese —Has every element to make a good bowler in time. At present too young to be considered iv connection with the forthcoming match.

F. Wilding—ln the same form as ever. Never did play with a straight bat and never will. Still fair in the field and a useful bowler, and a most handy man in any team. Will make, runs very often at a pinch when better men will fail.

The selector desires that- the men selected to practice for the New South Wales match should attend at Lancaster Park this afternoon after the sports meeting.
