[1] Oxford University won the toss and elected to bat first, making 241 all out in their first-innings, during which Thomas bowled eight overs without taking a wicket, though he only conceded 7 runs. Lancashire then made 203 all out in their first-innings, during which Thomas was dismissed for 4 runs by Richard Elviss. In response, Oxford University reached 224/8 declared in their second-innings, leaving Lancashire with a target of 262 for victory. However, they could only make 191 all out in their second-innings, during which Thomas was dismissed for a duck by Elviss. [2] This was his only major appearance for Lancashire.

Their second first-class game, against Derbyshire, Oxford UCCE did well in the first innings, dismissing their visitors cheaply and building up a large lead. However, they weren't able to dismiss them a second time, in a game which was reduced through rain.

Lionel Palairet English cricketer

Lionel Charles Hamilton Palairet was an English amateur cricketer who played for Somerset and Oxford University. A graceful right-handed batsman, he was selected to play Test cricket for England twice in 1902. Contemporaries judged Palairet to have one of the most attractive batting styles of the period. His obituary in The Times described him as "the most beautiful batsman of all time". An unwillingness to tour during the English winter limited Palairet's Test appearances; contemporaries believed he deserved more Test caps.
