Castle Surrey
Championship 2 v Berkshire Cricket League
At Dorking Cricket Club.
Berkshire won the toss and Elected to field, with five players
making their league rep debuts. The Bowling was open by Andy Wheeler (Englefield)
and Aron Shallom (Sandurst), bowling tight and putting Surrey under pressure,
Wheeler, after his first spell of seven overs for 17 Runs, was replace by Ricky
Beckles (Purley) who made a breakthrough in his first over to remove Crompton
for 19, caught by Stuart Lipo( Yateley). Shallom completed his ten overs in one
spell, finishing with figures of 1-30 to be replaced by Lipo. Robin White (Englefield)
also bowled his off-spin tight but Surrey under further pressure to score runs,
returning figures of ten over, 2-37, Beckles returned to bowl from the opposite
end and picked up a further two wickets as the rain fell to finish with figures
of 3-30 off 9 overs as the umpires closed the surrey innings on 193-8 off 48
Overs.
Set a target of 194 off 48 overs to win and with showers in the air, Berkshire
needed to keep above the run rate. Mark Richards (Sonning) and Simon Massey (Yateley)
open the inning and attacked the opening bowlers before Massey fell, caught
behind to a rising ball for 11. That brought White and Richards together, the
leading run scorer and highest average batsmen of the league last season!
Richards played his natural game to reach his 50 off 48 balls and his 100 off 83
balls, and with White finding his form, they put on 155 before Richards fell LBW
for 112. White went on to reach 59 not out and steer Berkshire home with 4 overs
to spare.
