Chris Tremlett shines in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 victory over Hampshire: Friends life Twenty20 – Match Recap
Chris Tremlett bowled Surrey to a comfortable victory by 38 runs over Hampshire, in a Friends Life T20 game, at the Kennington Oval, London in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, on Friday, July 8, 2011.
The home team posted a decent target of 152 runs for the opposition. Their middle-order batsman, Tom Maynard, was the top scorer of the match with 47 runs, as no other player in the entire game managed to score into the forties.
Hampshire were below par with the bat and were all-out for 113 runs in the 19th over of the innings. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sahibzada-Mohammad-Shahid-Khan-Afridi-c87933, played well at the top of the order, scoring 36 runs, but the effort went in vain.
Toss was won by the home team’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rory-Hamilton-Brown-c2366, who opted to bat first on a good batting pitch. His team responded well with a solid total against a good bowling side.
The start was not an ideal one for Surrey, as they lost their seasoned opener, Jason http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Davies-c2542 was the next man to go, but he did a good job, scoring 21 runs off 18 deliveries.
Hamilton-Brown and Maynard batted well, putting together 45 runs for the third-wicket partnership. They laid a solid platform for the lower-order batsmen before the team’s skipper was dismissed after collecting 29 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zander-de-Bruyn-c98565 offered good support to Maynard and the pair pout together 50 runs for the fourth wicket stand, guiding their team into a very solid position.
However, both batsmen got out in a span of 10 runs after scoring 24 and 47 in their respective outings. Maynard played really well and got his runs off just 38 balls with the help of one four and a couple of sixes.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yasir-Arafat-c98241 and Zafar Ansari remained unbeaten on 10 and 9 in their respective knocks, guiding the team’s total above 150 in the end.
Hampshire’s captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dominic-Cork-c1390 bowled well, ending up with figures for 2/23 in his four overs.
The chase started off in a terrible manner for the visitors, as they lost four batsmen for just nine runs on the board. However, the innings was put on track by Afridi and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Liam-Andrew-Dawson-c72856.
The former Pakistan skipper got out after top scoring the innings with 36 runs off 26 balls, clobbering four fours and one massive six. Dawson was unfortunate to be run-out after collecting 26 runs and that saw a collapse for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789, as the entire team
was bundled up for 113 in 18.4 overs.
England’s, Tremlett was in outstanding form, picking up four wickets for just 16 runs in his four-over spell.
