This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
In this drawn match 849 runs were scored at an average of 44.68 per wicket. Previous matches between the two sides on this ground had been characterised by low scoring. For Hertfordshire, Golding's 170 was the highest individual innings of the season, and the Hertfordshire total of 444-9 wickets declared was the second highest of the year. There were 20 fours, 5 threes and 12 twos in Golding's 170, an innings of three hours and 25 minutes, and 11 fours, 5 threes and 18 twos in Hickin's 124, scored in four hours. In the Hertfordshire first innings, they put on 275 runs for the third wicket, which was a new Championship record for that wicket, exceeding the 200 added by Dashwood and Casavatti for Hertfordshire against Norfolk at Norwich in 1899. Golding's 170 match run aggregate was the second highest of the season. Grellet's 60 contained 6 fours. For the visitors, McCormick's 116 included 13 fours, 2 threes and 10 twos, and was scored in just under 3 hours. Partridge's 82 contained 14 fours and Compton's 54 not out included 7 fours. In the Norfolk innings, McCormick and Partridge put on 164 runs for the third wicket, which was the second highest partnership for that wicket during the season. The 135 runs conceded by Shore in the home team's first innings were the second highest of the season. Page kept wicket for Norfolk when Blake bowled in the Hertfordshire first innings. In all, 14 players bowled during the match.
