This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Because of rain, no play was possible on the second day and the match was abandoned as a draw. For the home team, there were 6 fours in W Smith's 89, 4 fours in Bassett's 54, scored in 65 minutes, and 3 fours in A Rogers's 53, for which he obtained talent money. In the Oxfordshire innings, Smith and A Rogers put on 101 runs for the seventh wicket, which was the third highest partnership for that wicket during the season. For Wiltshire, Miller kept wicket when Smart bowled. The Oxford Journal reports that Smart bowled wearing his pads. When Stevens had scored 7 in the Wiltshire innings, he reached the career milestone of
one thousand runs in championship matches.
