William Gunn was, by far, the best batsman and William Attewell took the most wickets. The county were without the services of Arthur Shrewsbury, who had suffered from asthma and bronchitis during the previous winter. This season represents something of a mystery in the life of Arthur Owen. His first-class matches do not start until the beginning of August. This might suggest that he had a teaching post in a school and was not free before the long vacation. It might also be the case that, having failed to gain a degree the previous year, he spent an extra year at Jesus College. If this is the case, his second attempt does not appear to have been successful either. Playing against Middlesex, he made 38 for the third time so far and seemed unable to pass his first season’s top score. His luck changed in the match against Kent. This was the only occasion this year on which he opened the batting. He opened the first innings with P.W.Oscroft and the second innings with C.W.Wright. On the latter occasion, he made 41 which was his highest score to date. He batted soundly but 102 runs were still required at the end of play. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 31.
