They have won all of their seven matchesplayed up to the time of going to press .The positive approach to the game which they have adopted has undoubtedly contributed totheir success . Their objective has been to bat first, to make a steady start without the loss of toomany wickets and to then really attack the bowling, taking only their fair share of the time availablein order to leave sufficient time to bowl out the opposition .That their objectives have been realised, on the whole, is remarkable, for surely it must beunique for a side to have batted first in all matches as the College 2nd XI has done this season ;not, I might add, by having won the toss each time!Each of the first eight in the batting order has scored thirty or more on at least one occasionand useful knocks have been had by Roberts and Everitt also .The XI have been fortunate in being able to field a varied bowling attack along with such depthin batting . This ranged from the quickies Burman and Tonks, both of whom had their moments ofsuccess with the ball but lacked consistency of length, to the left-arm orthodox bowling of Youngerand Hearmon, the left arm "chinamen" of Everitt, the right-arm "leggers" of Knight, the "offers"of Roberts and Baxter and the unknowns of Nash .Of the sixty-eight wickets taken, forty-four were captured by the spinners . Thirty of these wereaccredited to Everitt who was converted, but this season, from being a rather ineffective left-armslinger to a useful slow bowler who I hope will persevere even more to master this art .The wicket-keeping has finally rested in the hands of Payne who has performed with credit,but the team is indebted to both Sullivan and Hearmon for their efforts in this department in theearlier matches .Knight has captained the 2nd XI this season and is to be congratulated, not only for his ownappreciable contribution with both bat and ball, but for his general efficiency in directing his teamboth on and off the field to being a successful and happy side . The team is indebted also to Burrowswho for the second year has scored for the 2nd XI with perfection, cheerfulness and encouragement. The assistance of Feek with the scoreboard has not gone by unnoticed . We thank you also .The 2nd XI was selected from the following : Baxter, Burman, Everitt, Hathway, Hearmon,Knight, Nash, Payne, Roberts, Schofield, Sullivan, Tonks, Wright and Younger .
