This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project
This match was drawn after Oxfordshire declared and set Worcestershire a victory target of 240 runs.
The game marked the debut of both teams in the Championship.
In the Worcestershire first innings, when the eighth wicket fell 20 runs were still required to save the follow-on, but Raynor and Bird added 21 runs for the ninth wicket.
For Oxfordshire there were 10 fours in Case's 71, including five boundaries off successive balls, and 1 five and 9 fours in Smith's 62.
Millward's 19 maidens in the first Oxfordshire innings were the most bowled in an innings during the season.
[Missing: Umpires; extras breakdown; in Worcestershire 2nd inns fall of 2nd, 3rd and 5th wickets, and time left to bat.]
