CC: WARWICKSHIRE v GLOUCESTERSHIRE, Edgbaston, 27-29 June 1895.
Result: Warwickshire won by an innings and 24 runs. Being seen to great advantage at all points of the game, Warwickshire gained a highly creditable victory over
Gloucestershire by an innings and 24 runs. Defeating a strong team such as Grace`s Gloucestershire was a significant achieve- ment in only their second season in the county championship. Having the good fortune to win the toss, and so getting first in- nings on a fast and true wicket, they made splendid use of their opportunity scoring 407. Lilley played an admirable game for 135, and Hill, Glover and Walter Quaife all did exceedingly well. The successful batting was followed up by some excellent bowling, fielding and wicketkeeping, and Warwickshire`s victory was seldom in doubt. On the second evening Gloucestershire were handicapped by having to bat in a bad light, but, on the whole, they were outplayed. Rice fared well in each innings, and W.G.Grace at his first innings scored 43 in an hour. It will be noticed that he was twice caught at the wicket. By his fine batting and superb wicketkeeping Lilley had a large share in the success of his county.
