J.M. Kilburn, cricket journalist and author. Two handwritten manuscripts for articles written by Kilburn for the Yorkshire Post. Kilburn is reporting on Oxford University v Yorkshire at The Parks, Oxford, 30th April & 1st May 1969. The first, comprising twelve pages of neatly written text, covers the first day’s play where ‘April uncertainty so infested the batting of Oxford University and Yorkshire that the first day... brought the fall of 17 wickets’. The second, of ten pages, covers the second (final) day’s play after Yorkshire completed a ten wicket win ‘By claiming the extra half-hour’. Ex Irving Rosenwater collection. Contained in an envelope with title in Rosewater’s hand. Some age toning to the manuscript pages, otherwise in very good condition.
