http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 rout Yorkshire by 53 runs
Nottinghamshire crushed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 on Sunday, June 5th, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Charles-Voges-c41889 was the top scorer in the match for the hosts, guiding his team’s total above 200 with a solid 74. His outstanding performance made the difference in the match and took the game away from Yorkshire.
Star Australian cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-John-Hussey-c52953, elected to bat first after winning the toss. The conditions were perfect for batting and Hussey had no hesitation once the coin rolled in favour of him. His team didn’t disappoint him at all, posting a massive target
for the opposition.
The start to Nottinghamshire’s innings was not what Hussey had expected at the toss, as opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Hendrik-Wessels-c75170 got out early.
He managed only four runs in his sort stay at the crease and was dismissed in the very first over of the match. His opening partner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Hales-c985, was also not comfortable in the middle and got out after adding 10 runs to the total from 11 deliveries.
However, two Aussie players, Voges and Hussey, piled a solid partnership for the third wicket, shifting the momentum of the match in their favour. They put together 53 runs before the latter got out after adding a quick fire 28 from 18 balls to the total.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426 then walked out in the middle and constructed a brilliant partnership of 94 runs with Voges to hurt the opposition badly. The Australian was dismissed in the 17th over of the innings after scoring 74 runs off 46 balls with the help
of 10 fours and one huge six.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657 also got out in the same over after collecting 52 runs from just 23 deliveries. He smashed four fours and the same number of sixes in his thunderous knock.
Wicketkeeper batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chris-Read-c1248, then finished the innings nicely with a cameo of 34 runs off just 14 balls, striking one four and three monstrous sixes, guiding the total to 215.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anthony-McGrath-c45053 was the pick of the bowlers for his team, picking up three wickets in two overs.
Yorkshire got off to a decent start, as their top-order got some runs, but they lost their way in the middle of the innings. Openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Gale-c1039 and Jonny Bairstow, collected 44 runs for the first wicket before Gale got out for 17.
Bairstow got out after scoring 31 runs and he was followed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Lyth-c922, who top scored the innings with 43 runs from 27 balls. None of the middle-order batsmen managed to trouble the opposition and Yorkshire were restricted to 162 in their allotted 20 overs.
Patel, who scored a half-century for his team, managed to pick up a couple of wickets for his team in the match.
