http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 overcomes Northamptonshire easily: Friends Life Twenty20
Warwickshire crushed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, on Wednesday, June 15th, 2011.
The hosts failed to post a decent target and were all-out for 96 in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, the Warwickshire batsmen didn’t have too many problems and chased the target down in the 19th over, losing just four wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamie-Oliver-Troughton-c66247, the visitors’ captain, opted to field first after winning the toss, as the conditions were expected to favour the bowlers in the first hour of play. This is exactly what happened, as the home team kept on struggling throughout the innings.
The Northamptonshire openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-James-Boyd-Moss-c86323 Newton, were unable to get going and were sent back to the pavilion after adding just eight and three runs to the total respectively.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-Allan-White-c85578 were the next two wickets to fall in the innings. Both batsmen failed to make an impression and were dismissed cheaply for six each in their respective innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Daniel-Middlebrook-c65579, who managed only four runs in his
outing.
There was some resistance from South Africa’s all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Murphy-c53110. The pair put together 29 runs for the seventh wicket partnership before the Proteas player got out after adding 28 runs to the total.
Murphy managed 20 runs off 16 balls, but failed to bat until the end and the entire team was dismissed for 96 runs in 19.5 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jeetan-Shashi-Patel-c66771 took three wickets apiece in the match and didn’t give away anything to the opposition batsmen.
In reply, the Warwickshire opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dominic-Lambert-Audain-c54308 Carter was dismissed in the very first over of the innings. He failed to trouble the scorers and had to take the long walk back to the pavilion.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/William-Thomas-Stuart-Porterfield-c97921 took their team out of trouble with a solid 36-run stand. They scored 34 and 20 in their respective knocks before being sent back to the pavilion.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Darren-Lee-Maddy-c52471 also batted sensibly, scoring 26 runs off 30 balls for his team before getting out. An unbeaten 13 from the visitors’ skipper guided the team to a comfortable win in the end.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Willey-c1342 was the pick of the bowlers for his side, dismissing one batsman for just five runs in two overs.
