St Cross Symondians all-rounder Michael Booth hit half-centuries in both Warwickshire Second XI County Championship innings against Worcestershire in midweek – but he’s been ruled out of tomorrow’s ECB Southern Premier League match against Bashley (Rydal) at the Green Jackets ground,11am.
The South African, who recently completed his fresher year at Durham University, made 65 and 56, but injured his groin bowling a solitary ball in Worcester’s first innings.
It’s an untimely blow for third -paced St Cross, who continue to be without wicketkeeper Ed Ellis (broken finger), but will have Hampshire’s Felix Organ captaining the side.
Visitors Bashley (Rydal) aren’t without their own problems as all-rounder Harry Broderick (back) is injured, Tom Friend isn’t playing despite two fifties in the past fortnight, and wicketkeeper Tom Jacques has joined Parley’s Hampshire League promotion push.
But, in almost a player exchange deal, Bashley have secured the services of Dorset pace bowling prospect Joe Huns, from Parley, who makes his debut at St Cross and in the National Counties Championship .
There is a suggestion coach Steve Wilson may take the gloves, but Michael Porter has previous form behind the stumps.
