This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Buckinghamshire won this return match by an innings and 93 runs on the second day. The match at Reading in July had also been won by Buckinghamshire. For the winners, Wright took 10 wickets in the match for 59 runs, including 7 for 38 in the Berkshire second innings. Bird scored 79, Hobbs 72 and Gresson 50. For Berkshire, Barrett top-scored with 43. The 32 maidens bowled by Wright in the match were the second most during the season. The 41 extras conceded by Berkshire in the Buckinghamshire innings were the most during the season. The Buckinghamshire overnight score was initially reported as being 301-4 wickets, but corrections both to Wright's score and the extras conceded led to a revised score of 297-4 wickets.
[Missing: Part fall of wickets; in Berkshire 2nd inns batting order, and part bowling order; in Buckinghamshire inns boundaries in Bird's 79, Hobbs's 72 and Gresson's 50; time completed.]
