CRICKET RETROSPECT, 1941.

1941, of glorious memory ! For that it will be to those of us privileged to witness this term's cricket. Congratulations to the XI on the most successful season we have enjoyed for many years.

The secret of the success was excellent team work. This was not a few stars with attendant satellites, but eleven players with a will to win, and in a crisis—of which there were many—someone could be relied upon to produce that effort needed to tide over a difficulty. The able captaincy of F. N. Buckler, his example and his encouragement, drew the best from his team, and we owe much to his inspired leadership.

The batting of the side did not, indeed, live up to its early promise, and at times we shuddered at the small total set our opponents, but, despite this disappointment, our bats gave us, from time to time, genuine entertainment. It is impossible to mention all in a short review such as this, but we cannot pass on without reference to the many lively knocks by Broadhurst, the effective, stylish batting of Buckler, the sound opening efforts by Cole, and the dour batting in troublous times by Denison.

This season we had the good fortune to have in Frost and Anderson, two bowlers well above the average. These two have maintained a high standard throughout, bowling for long spells without losing length and presenting problems to the opposing batsmen at all times. Their sterling efforts contributed in no small way to our success, and so often did they run through the opposition that the other bowlers had but little to do. When required, Broadhurst and Burton added variety to the attack and gave evidence of ability.
