Burley cricketer James Rapson must have felt he's won the lottery to sink Camelot virtually single-handed in a Hampshire League, Regional Division 3 West match at Exbury.
The former Bashley (Rydal) cricketer produced an amazing virtuoso performance, scoring 90 not out and later taking five wickets in six deliveries as Burley seconds beat Camelot by 25 runs.
Rapson arrived at the crease after Burley had lost both openers cheaply and hit a career-best 90 to help his side reach 175-7 (Jim Burry 44).
A Chris Hewlings half-century looked as though it might swung the match Camelot’s way, but Rapson (6-32), coming on as third change, took five wickets in six balls, including a hat-trick, to dismiss them for 150.
