Aggregate Scores.
There have been fourteen aggregate scores in first-class cricket higher than the 1607 runs recorded in the match between the M.C.C. team and New South Wales recently, but only one that has yielded a higher average number of runs for each wicket that has fallen. Taking the number of wickets in the M.C.C. team’s first innings as nine, since E. 11. Bowley was unable to bat, 22 wickets fell in the scoring of 1607 runs, an average of 73.45 runs a wicket. The match that gave a better average was played by Worcestershire and Leicestershire in 1906, when 1425 runs were scored for sixteen wickets, an average of 89.06 runs a wicket. The highest aggregate ever recorded was the 1929 which was made, at a cost of thirty-nine wickets, in a match between New South Wales and South Australia at Sydney four years ago.
