Lives in Cricket No 5 - Rockley Wilson

J.M.Kilburn described the Scarborough Festival as “first-class cricket on holiday” 34 , we can be sure that a match including so many Yorkshiremen would be hard-fought. The match was drawn, the Players scoring 314 and 259 for eight declared, the Gentlemen 363 (Taylor 102) and 133 for seven. Wilson scored five in his only innings and took four wickets in all, three of them for 94 off 27 overs in the Players’ second innings. It could be described as a modest performance on his first appearance in a representative match in England.
