This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Hertfordshire won this return match
by an innings at ? pm on the second day. The game between the two teams at Oxford the previous week had been drawn. For the winners, there were ? fours in White's 99, and ? fours in Golding's 75. Golding and White had a large partnership for the third wicket which probably exceeded a hundred runs and could have been the second highest for that wicket during the season. The highest known partnership for that wicket was 133, and the other two known century partnerships were 107 and 106. Boissier's 65 not out for Oxfordshire contained ? fours. On the first day, play had been extended for a few minutes to allow White to score his century, but he was caught at mid-on off J W Marsh's lob bowling for 99.
[Missing: Fall of wickets; in Oxfordshire first innings boundaries in Boissier's 65*, and why Willson absent; in Hertfordshire innings boundaries in White's 99 and Golding's 75; time completed.]
