Doctors beat Butterworth Jones by 7 wickets Butterworths 104 all out
Doctors 105
for 3
Butterworth’s innings almost died at
birth as Steve Witts (2-1) dismissed their best batsman David Edworthy for 2
and he and Wayne Pither (1-3) beat the bat time and again. When Ashley Knowles (1-17) took a caught
and bowled chance off his first ball the visitors top order had crumbled to 9
for 4. Some of the damage was
repaired by an excellent partnership of 46 between Blackwell and Phillips which
was ended when Blackwell (30) was very well caught by Andrew Paisley at deep
square leg off Jeremy Budd (1-31).
Keith Powell then effected a good run out which left Phillips and Phil
Barker to mount a rearguard action.
Phillips (24) was bowled by Robert Seymour and Barker’s
inventive innings of 20 was ended in identical fashion. The tail had no answer to the wiles of An early finish seemed inevitable when
Powell (19) and John Ogle (12) put on 50 for the first wicket in just 7 overs
with a mixture of hard hitting and challenging running. Both had survived run out scares when they
fell in quick succession to Butterworths best bowler Phil Greenway
(2-18). |
