The games have, until recently, been excluded from first-class records of the two players, although all the three-day matches played were against sides which have been treated as first-class in other circumstances. Personally, I regard all these matches as being first-class, but it is fair to say that Hobbs himself did not see them as such. See Association of Cricket Statisticians’ Guide to First-Class Matches in India for further details.
