This card comes from the Minor Counties Research Project - research is continuing on this scorecard which can be expected to change.
This return match was drawn with no decision on first innings.
Rain prevented any play on the first day and delayed the start on the second day until 2.15 pm.
The Staffordshire declaration left Suffolk just 45 minutes to bat.
The home team did not want the risk losing on first innings, as under the points system it would have led to a reduction in their percentage total.
For Staffordshire, there were 5 fours, 6 threes and 17 twos in Brown's 106 not out, an innings of ? hours, and 5 fours in Fereday's 64.
In the Staffordshire innings, Brown and Fereday put on 127 runs for the fourth wicket.
The game between the two sides at the beginning of the month at Felixstowe had been won by Staffordshire.
