The match between the two teams at Bletchley the week before had been won by Wiltshire. For the home side, there were 19 fours in R W Awdry’s 104 and Miller sc ored 53. Heavy rain prevented any play after 2.00 pm on the second day, almost certainly saving Buckinghamshire from a heavy defeat. [Missing: Toss; umpires; extras breakdown; fall of wickets; large partnerships; in Wiltshire first innings duration of Awdr y’s 104 and boundaries in Miller’s 53; in Buckinghamshire second innings batting order and runs bowling 2 in excess.] Sources: North Wilts Guardian 10 August; Wiltshire Times 11 August; Bucks Advertiser 10 August; Bucks Herald 10 August; South Bucks Free Press 9 August; South Bucks Standard 9 August; Sporting Life 6,7 August; The Sportsman 6,7 August; Cricketer and Hockey Player.
