Nottinghamshire ease to victory against Lancashire: Friends Life T20 – Match Recap
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, on Sunday, June 26, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Hendrik-Wessels-c75170 played a crucial part in his team’s success, scoring 76 runs in the match.
The home team collected 184 runs in their allotted 20 overs and managed to defend the total comfortably in the end, as they bowled out the Lancashire team for 131 in 18 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-John-Hussey-c52953, who leads the Nottinghamshire team, opted to bat first after winning the toss. He expected the pitch to be easier in the first half of the match and his batsmen proved the decision right, setting a solid target for the opposition.
Nottinghamshire’s openers, Wessels and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Hales-c985, provided a flying start to their side with a brilliant half-century partnership. They put together 85 runs in 10.3 overs before the latter was dismissed after collecting 60 runs from 38 balls. He attacked
the bowlers from the start, smashing seven fours and two massive sixes.
Australia’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Charles-Voges-c41889 played a cameo innings of 17 runs before getting out. He was involved in a 42-run stand with Wessels, who played a terrific knock.
The stylish opener ended up with 76 runs off 49 deliveries with the help of five fours and four thunderous sixes. He played until the end and was dismissed with just 13 more balls remaining in the innings.
Hussey was unfortunate to be run-out in the death overs, in an attempt to take a quick run. He can prove to be deadly dangerous in the final overs, but only managed 11 this time around in his http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Short-c90107 stay at the crease.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scott-Liam-Elstone-c89038 remained unbeaten on 12 runs from eight deliveries, guiding his team’s total to 184 in the end.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-David-Parry-c91060 managed to pick up a couple of wickets in his spell though.
In reply, the visitors’ didn’t get off to an ideal start to their innings, losing opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572, early on. He was dismissed in the very first over of the innings after scoring four runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-Christopher-Smith-c93347 struggled to get going and was sent back to the pavilion after collecting 11 runs off 13 deliveries. His wicket saw a collapse for the Lancashire team, as wickets started tumbling.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steven-John-Croft-c91308, who is the skipper of Lancashire, top scored the innings with 55 runs from 28 balls, clobbering five fours and three sixes. He lacked support from his team-mates though, as the second highest score in the innings was 18 from wicketkeeper batsman,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gareth-Cross-c1459.
The visitors were dismissed for 131 in 18 overs, courtesy some decent bowling from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andre-Ryan-Adams-c44262, who picked up two wickets for 19 in his spell.
