This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Berkshire won this return match by ten wickets on the second day, Wiltshire having been victorious in the first encounter between the two teams earlier in the month. For Berkshire, Ingram scored 81 and Croome 51. Cave received talent money for taking 6 wickets in the Wiltshire first innings. Barker took 9 wickets in the match for 126 runs. Cave injured his left hand during the Wiltshire first innings and batted one-handed in the Berkshire first innings. When Smart had scored 8 in the Wiltshire second innings, he reached his one thousand runs in championship matches. Most sources mistakenly indicate that Berkshire batted first in this match and enforced the follow-on.
