Gloucestershire: Sinfield, Dipper, Hammond, B. H. Lyon, Smith, Dacre, F. J. Seabrook, Neale, Barnett, Parker, Goddard. Australia: W. H. Ponsford, A. Jackson, D. G. Bradman, A. Kippax, S. McCabe, V. Y. Richardson, E. a'Beckett, A. Hurwood, C. V. Grimmett, P. M. Hornibrook, C. Walker. Although Gloucestershire only scored 72 in their first innings, Grimmett taking 3 for 28 and Hornibrook 4 for 20, this was a remarkable tie, both sides making a final total of 274 runs for the loss of all their wickets. The most successful batsman on either side was Hammond with 89 in his second innings, while Gloucestershire's crack bowler was Parker who took 7 for 54 on the final day.
