Sussex defeat Hampshire by five wickets: County Championship Division One – Hampshire’s First Innings Recap
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, on Thursday, July 14, 2011.
The hosts needed 233 runs for victory, which they achieved comfortably in the end, losing just five batsmen. Star wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-James-Prior-c75192 was in exceptional form on the final day’s play, scoring 97 runs. He remained unbeaten until the end, guiding
his side to victory.
Earlier, Hampshire had won the toss and decided to bat first. The team collected 206 runs in their first innings and was bowled out. They would have liked to score more runs after opting to bat first on the first day of the four-day game.
The pitch was good for the batsmen, but it also had a little bit of assistance for the bowlers. The conditions made the competition pretty http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-James-Muchall-c60376 even for both sides and the spectators also witnessed a good game of cricket in the end.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Liam-Andrew-Dawson-c72856 started the innings for the visitors and batted well, providing a solid start to their side. They collected 63 runs at the top of the order before the latter was dismissed after scoring 38 runs with the help of seven boundaries.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MA-Carberry-c1868 was the next man to be dismissed in the visitors’ innings. The first-drop player failed to get going and got out after limping to two runs from 20 deliveries.
Adams also struggled throughout his outing, as he was not able to find the gaps in the field. The seasoned player took a lot of time to settle down and finally threw his wicket away after adding 25 runs to the total from 107 balls.
South Africa’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Neil-Douglas-McKenzie-c79091 looked solid as ever, but failed to carry onto the start he got to his innings. The Proteas batsman was sent back to the pavilion after collecting 22 runs.
Just six runs later, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Michael-Vince-c65940 was also dismissed after managing 12 runs in his outing. At that stage, the Hampshire team was under immense pressure, losing half their side for 126 runs on the board.
Wicketkeeper batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alexander-Michael-Bates-c43236 was also unable to make an impression and had to take the long walk back to the pavilion after scoring 12 runs.
There was some resistance from Zimbabwe’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sean-Ervine-c2471, who struck 32 runs with the help of four boundaries before being dismissed.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dominic-Cork-c1390 reached 25 runs, smashing a couple of sixes, guiding his team to 206 in the end.
