Biography on reverse reads: "C. Kelleway. Kelleway is a good all-rounder, being a batsman of the stylish type. He is also a good medium-pace bowler, with a way of keeping an excellent length which compels the batsman to be on the watch all the time. Perhaps one thing that can be said against him - and this may have affected the decision not to send him to England for the last tour - is that he is not so quick or so brilliant in the field in which he can be extremely useful, and only an unusually strong Australian team can afford to be without him."
