Cornwall defeated Wiltshire convincingly by 77 runs in a Group Two match of the MCCA Trophy, at the Trewirgie, Redruth in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parsons-c80768 played exceptionally well for Cornwall, scoring 98 runs in the match. His
score ended up being the highest in the overall game and guided his side to a massive total of 347 in the allotted 50 overs. Wiltshire only managed 270 runs in their innings, as their batsmen failed to cope with the pressure of a big chase.
Cornwall’s skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-Granville-Sharp-c93487, elected to bat first after winning the toss, as the conditions were very good for batting. His team didn’t let him down and posted a massive total.
The start to the innings was a very good one for Cornwall, as their openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-James-Roberts-c52895 put together 77 runs for the first wicket. The latter failed to capitalise on the star he got to his innings and was sent back to the pavilion after
adding 28 runs to the total.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-Francis-Davis-c52252 and Robins carried onto the good work for their team, scoring another half-century partnership in the innings. Robins played extremely well and got out after scoring 51 runs from 76 deliveries. He laid a solid platform for the lower-order
batsmen to score runs freely.
Parsons walked out in the middle after the fall of the second wicket and he played an exceptional knock. He was involved in a 78-run stand with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davis-c53314, who got out after scoring 59 runs.
However, Parsons played aggressive cricket, smashing 98 runs from just 81 balls with the help of nine fours and three sixes. He deserved a ton, but just fell two runs short of it.
A quick fire 42 off 29 deliveries from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Henry-Rowe-c75171 proved to be the icing on the cake, as Cornwall reached closer to 350.
Wiltshire’s bowlers didn’t have much assistance off the pitch and failed to keep the batsmen quiet. However, Sam Mount managed to pick up three wickets in the match, but gave away 67 runs in his spell of 10 overs.
Wiltshire needed a solid start to their innings, but lost one wicket early. However, they gained momentum with a brilliant century partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Henry-John-Langford-c62605. The pair put together 105 runs for the second wicket before the latter
got out after scoring 68 runs.
Levitt also batted with responsibility, scoring 88 runs, but none of the lower-order batsmen managed to bat sensibly. Wiltshire were restricted to 270 for nine in their 50 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kelvin-John-Snell-c70747 bowled well, taking three wickets in the match for his side.
