[edit] Notable matches

Warwickshire and Hampshire took part in one of the most remarkable of all County Championship matches, at Edgbaston on 14-16 June. Warwickshire made 223 and then dismissed Hampshire for only 15, Calthorpe taking 4/4 and Howell 6/7. Eight batsmen made ducks. Following on, Hampshire did much better, but still seemed certain to lose at 274 for 8. George Brown with 172, and the captain's valet and wicket-keeper Livsey with 110 not out, took the total to 521. Warwickshire needed 314 to win. Jack Newman and Alex Kennedy then bowled Hampshire to a remarkable victory.
