Teenage Hampshire leg spinner Mason Crane has continued his remarkable series of performances in the New South Wales Premiership with a career-best bowling spell for his adopted club, Gordon at the Allan Border Oval.
After the tenth round of 15 fixtures, Crane had become the second highest wicket taker in the powerful Sydney First Grade competition, with 31 scalps (and 47 in all cricket) on the back of a superb 7-93 return against Mosman, who were dismissed for 226 – a total Gordon breeze past, with Crane starring yet again with the bat.
Coming in at eight, he rattled off 52 (one six and six fours) - his third successive half-century and a fifth overall for Gordon, who reached 343 but were foiled in their bid for an outright victory in the two-day match when Mosman batted out at 194-3, Crane picking up one more wicket.
The former Lancing College teenager aims to take his wicket tally to 50 when Gordon host North Sydney in their nest two-day game at Chatsworth Park on Saturday.
