It will be rid ted that H. Watson lias the best average to date. He howeveT, has played three innings only. Ross is next.wit'i an average; of 57.12 for nine completed innings. This player has now scored over'soo runs for the season, as he has yet to be credited with his score against University, 47 not but; at the end of the -first day's play. This colt also scored over 500 runs iast seascm.; In addition to 3ris 3eores in.- club, this season, Ross collected over 300 runs with the Hutt touring team /at Christmas, including two centuries, and :&lso scored 83 against a Wairarapa teani- on Anniver«aTy day. Considering that he is not yet \2l years of ;age, his perform-• ances have beeji remarkable, and he [should make a name for himself in big cricket as he has the right tenvpera- ! ment for important matches. Biggar, BiTch, Lees, Warnes -and > McKenzie have all done well. MeKenzie and LWarnes are showing a marked improvement on last yearns-form. . In the bowling IVames has bhe besV average, having bagged 14 wickets &t a cost of 22.64 runs each. Congratulations to B. ,R. Ross upon j his selection in the felunket Shield team.
