Oxford scored 150 and 335, M.C.C. 224 and 200/9 and, despite play being extended, the last pair John Rawlin (35no) and Freddy Geeson (28) held out for a draw. Both scorecards with printed fixtures at Lord’s for season 1892. Each 4.5”x6”. Light crease to one corner of the Oxford card, both with some foxing, otherwise in good condition.
