This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Wiltshire won by 96 runs on the second day, despite being dismissed for just 75 runs in only 28.2 overs in their first innings.
Rain delayed the start of play on the second day until 12.45pm.
For the winners there was 1 six in RW Awdry's 52, which was the only innings above 30 in the match.
Mitchell took 7 wickets for 49 runs in Buckinghamshire's first innings and 7 for 53 in their second, giving him match figures of 14 for 102; he bowled unchanged throughout the match.
RW Awdry took 3 catches in Buckinghamshire's first innings and 5 in the match.
Overton took 3 catches in Buckinghamshire's second innings.
For the losers Sewell top-scored with 26; he also took 5 wickets for 22 runs in Wiltshire's first innings, finishing with match figures of 9 for 109.
Franklin took 3 catches and made 2 stumpings in the match.
The identity of Wiltshire's eleventh man has given various alternatives with B Stevens and EJ Watts listed in some newspapers while Wisden has DJ Watts.
However the decision is to accept that in the Wiltshire News which states that "JDH Watts - a London Wiltshireman - filled the last place, which no resident could be persuaded to take."
