This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This return match was drawn, as had been the earlier game between the two teams at Swindon in July. For Wiltshire, there were 2 fives, 13 fours and 3 threes in Radcliffe's 102. For Surrey 2nd XI, Harper's 102 not out contained 1 five and 14 fours. Sproston's 66 included 1 five and 7 fours, and Baker's 55 contained 1 five and 10 fours. Miller and Smart shared the wicket-keeping duties for Wiltshire. The 3 stumpings by Miller (2) and Smart (1) in the Surrey innings were the joint highest for the season. Sproston, who was making his debut for Surrey, had been the vice-captain of the West Indian touring team that had played 17 matches against first-class and minor county teams between mid-June and mid-August.
[Missing: Fall of wickets; large partnerships; in Wiltshire 1st inns duration and twos in Radcliffe's 102; in Wiltshire 2nd inns batting order, and who bowled the no ball; in Surrey inns duration and threes and twos in Harper's 102*.]
