Notes:
1. The feats of Brearley, Hooker, Tyldesley, Walker, Robins and Saini
   were spread over two innings

2. Trott had another hat-trick in the same innings of this, his benefit match

3. Having bowled J Firth with the last ball of the first innings,
   Walker achieved a unique feat by dismissing G Lester, M Tompkin and
   GA Smithson with the first three balls of the second

4. Sussex lost five wickets in the course of the final (six-ball) over
   of their match with Surrey at Eastbourne. Pocock, who had taken three
   wickets in his previous over, captured four more, taking in all seven
   wickets with 11 balls, a feat unique in first-class matches. (The
   eighth wicket fell to a run-out)

5. James is the only player to score a century in the same match.
