In the second innings C Wiseman made a better stand and contributed 26 in dashing style; H Pettitt following in hais wake with 13. Neither of the others, however, made any stand at the wickets; in the first innings Wakering compiled 38 and in the second 60. For the home team G L reeve played a sound innings for 54, his play being clean and neat; while the catch in the slips by STeward which disposed of him was a remarkably good one. The next valuable contributor to the same side was Dr Young, his faultless innings of 37 was a splendid dispaly of good cricket and his defence was the admiration of the field. A Hunt exhibited some of his old form and rattled up 18 very quickly, and R Pettitt played well for 17, while J Wiseman succeeded in reaching double figures. rankins.hitscricket/scorecard/fixtureID_372603/1st-XI-v-Wakering-CC-21-May-1884.aspx
