A short introduction (pages 8-17), then a succession of scorecards, with comments (e.g. “K. Farnes performed a hat-trick in Notts’ 2nd innings, dismissing G.F.H. Hearne, J. Hardstaff and G.V. Gunn in a spell of four wickets for six runs in two overs.  It was his maiden hat-trick and was to be the only one of his career.”) 

One does wonder whether the Association of Cricket Statisticians (founded 1973) welcomed or deplored the introduction of the computer.
