Ills defcnc6' Is texoeilcnt , but his wrist work he not what it might be , and a certnhtl stiffness itt his all-round play Is noticeable. U , Vaughan Is the bowler most likely to operate successfully against first-class bats- men. lie keeps an admirable lemmgth , but lmardly pays emuough attention to the placIng of his field. Thus far he ilas been most I unlucky in his batting. , Ito has a wonderfui eye , and this enables thai to defy the ordinary - nary rules that apply to batting , in one particular , at any rate. lie can back from his wickets and yet sop the most difficult balls.
