This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This match was drawn after the Berkshire declaration set Oxfordshire a victory target of 308 in 3½
hours. Rain stopped play 25 minutes early with the visitors 42 runs short of victory. The match aggregate of 983 runs was the highest of the season and 3 short of a new Championship record. The main feature of the match was Gibb scoring two centuries for Berkshire, the first time this feat had been achieved in a Championship game. In the first innings he scored 103 with 12 fours and in the second 122 not out with 10 fours. In the Berkshire second innings Gibb and Barrett put on 111 for the fourth wicket. In the first innings Bennett and Barker added 59 for the last wicket. For the visitors, the debutant Fox scored 115 not out, J F Marsh's 78 and Molloy's 53. In the Oxfordshire second innings Fox and J F Marsh put on 153 for the third wicket, and Molloy and Brooks 63 for the last. A Rogers took 8 wickets for 117 in the Berkshire first innings. The 199 runs he conceded were the highest of the season in a Championship match. [An alternative version of this score based on Berkshire sources for the Berkshire first innings gives Smith conceding 16 runs, Molloy 17 and Fox 7.]
