Features of the Season By E. I. M, Barrett

The cricket season of 1920 will go down to history as one of the most successful from the point of view of the County Cricket Championship. To the last match the result was in doubt and a more dramatic finish than that between Middlesex and Surrey at Lords, which decided the championship in the former's favour, has never been seen even on that famous ground. It was a fitting end to the ericketing career of a great captain and sportsman "Plum" Warner. Middlesex quite deserved their position at the head of the table. The results of their matches against the stronger counties, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Surrey and Kent showed them to be the best side under all conditions.
