To reach the Challenge Match, Bucks contentiously tried not to overtake the Herts score.
Herts deliberately bowled for boundary byes and claimed the extra half hour.
Scorebook shows 19 byes in Bucks innings rather than the claimed 18
The Bucks scorer did not record all the names and it has been assumed that Peters, Prince and Yates completed the side
