TWO INNINGS WITHOUT ANY RUNS FROM THE BAT 1878 CRICKET SCORESHEET

In 1878 two cricket teams, within two months of each other, managed to complete their innings without any runs being scored from the bat. On May 18th 1878 Simpkin Marshall & Co. scored a total of 1 (courtesy of a bye) at Holloway against Civil Service Supply Association - and then, on July 11th in a Cheltenham College 2nd XI match, Garth Gammon totalled 7 in their second innings (6 byes and 1 wide) against Christowe. In this match the bowler Cornwall took 7 wickets with successive balls and the opener, Vaughan, carried his bat for 0*. This is an original page taken from the 1878 James Lillywhite's Cricketers' Annual - no great value in itself, but certainly a very amusing and interesting display item.

16 x 12cm. Light foxing marks. Good condition.
