This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Wiltshire won by an innings and 28 runs on the second day. For the winners, the debutant Mitchell took 13 wickets for 83 runs in the match, including 8 for 30 in the first innings. He and Newman bowled unchanged through both innings, the latter taking 6 for 59. Taunton scored 61. For the losers, Goatly top-scored with 44 which included 1 five and 6 fours. Press reports describe Mitchell as being a slow left arm bowler who flicked his wrist at the moment before delivery and that this raised doubts about the fairness of his action.
