This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project
This return match was drawn after Oxfordshire were set a victory target of 228 in just over two hours. The previous game between the two teams at Trowbridge earlier in the month had been narrowly won by Oxfordshire. For the visitors Radcliffe's 135, scored in 140 minutes, included 20 fours, 5 threes and 9 twos. Stevens scored
80 and Goudge 60. A C Miller's 58 for Oxfordshire contained 12 fours. A blow on the nose when batting caused P Rogers to retire in the Oxfordshire first innings, though he resumed batting at the fall of the ninth wicket. It is not known who held the substitute catch in the Wiltshire first innings.
[Missing: Umpires; fall of wickets; in Wiltshire 1st inns who held substitute catch; in Wiltshire 2nd inns boundaries in Goudge and Stevens 50s, and batting order; in Oxfordshire 2nd inns batting order.]
