This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
Berkshire won this match by 70 runs on the second day. For the winners, G G M Bennett scored 95, Brougham 76, Seth-Smith 58 and Rowe 52. For the losers, Bird scored 104, and Gibbs 65. The match aggregate of 974 runs was the second highest of the season. The 69.1 overs bowled by Wright were the second most in a match and the 19 maidens he bowled in the Berkshire second innings were the joint most in the season. The 312 runs scored by Buckinghamshire in their second innings was a new championship record for the fourth innings of a match exceeding the 275 for 6 wickets scored by Norfolk against Hertfordshire at Bishop's Stortford in 1899. The record was to last for just 3 days before being beaten at the same ground by Berkshire against Oxfordshire.
