  2. ^ An "odds match" with unmatched sides, this match is not considered first-class by Kent County Cricket Club,[4][5] but is recognised as such by other authorities. The Kent side was named "XV Young Players of Kent", although it featured a number of players who were not considered "young", including several of Kent's strongest side.[6][7][8] It is considered notable as the United Eleven, playing with eleven players against Kent's 15, scored 279 for the loss of 8 wickets in the match's fourth inning to win - a score considered "remarkable" at the time.[9]
