This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Although no play was possible on the first day, Oxfordshire came close to winning this drawn game, after Berkshire had followed on 143 runs in arrears. Needing to bat for 105 minutes to save the match, Berkshire lost 8 wickets and at the close were still 51 runs behind. For Oxfordshire, P Rogers took 10 wickets in the match for 31 runs, including 9 for 20 -- all clean bowled - in the Berkshire first innings, which was statistically the second best innings bowling performance of the season. There were 5 fours in A Rogers's 60 and 3 fours in Schwarz's 58, scored in an hour and 55 minutes. The Berkshire first innings total of 39 was the joint third lowest of the season.
[Missing: Part fall of wickets; in Berkshire 2nd inns batting order.]
