- McGahey batted for 160 minutes and hit 15 fours in his
innings of 130. Warwickshire's all professional side was
allowed to overflow into the amateurs' dressing room but
Diver was told they must all use the professionals' gate,
thus entailing a 30 yard detour. Diver arranged that one
batsmen would go through the pro gate, the other through the
amateur gate. The farce caused amusement and won the applause
of the crowd but upset the Essex secretary. When Warwickshire
took the field on the second day Diver marched them all
through the pro gate, along the boundary to the amateur gate,
and then out onto the field.
