No play was possible on the first day and there were several rain interruptions on the second. The Monmouthshire scoring rate was only fractionally over 1.8 runs per over. The 50 overs bowled by Creber were the most in an innings during the season and the 21 maidens he bowled were the third highest in an innings during the season. Russell’s 38 in the Glamorgan innings took him to the career milestone of 1,000 runs in championship matches. [An alternative version of this score given in the Western Mail has in the Monmouthshire innings Russell bowling 28 overs and 6 maidens.] [Missing: Umpires; extras breakdown; in Glamorgan inns fall of seventh wicket.] Sources: South Wales Argus 14 June; South Wales Times 20 June; South Wales Weekly Argus 21 June; Star of Gwent 20 June; The Cambrian 20 June; South Wales Daily News 14,16 June; South Wales Echo 14 June; Western Mail 16 June; The Sportsman 16 June.
