A good day at the office
LIVERPOOL VICTORIA COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP
CAPTAIN Ben Hutton reached 47 as Middlesex County Cricket
Club’s batsmen took the initiative in their opening match
against Kent yesterday (Wednesday).
In response to Sunday’s six-wicket defeat to Gloucestershire
in the C&G Trophy, where Middlesex were dismissed for 95,
the skipper led his team to 160 for three as the New Journal
went to press.
An opening partnership of 67 between Hutton and Ed Smith laid
the foundation, with Smith hitting eight fours before falling
for 36 in the 20th over.
Hutton and Owais Shah ensured their team reached lunch on 91
for one. When Shah was out for 12, his replacement, Ed Joyce,
reached 39 from 53 balls with Jamie Dalrymple in support on
four.
The match continues until Saturday.
n A Middlesex 2nd XI featuring Islington’s Billy Godleman
began their championship quest with a draw against Marylebone
Cricket Club Young Cricketers at Radlett. Opener Godleman scored
one and 15 as Middlesex recorded 298 and 193-3 responding to
Marylebone’s first innings of 201. |
