Hampshire hopeful Fraser Hay couldn’t have done much more ...
After all, he took 5-61 with the ball and then smacked a boundary strewn 83 with the bat.
But even that couldn’t prevent Portsmouth suffering a 28-run British Gas Southern League Division 1 defeat by Rowledge on Southsea seafront.
Despite Hay’s efforts with the ball, teenager Jake Wish (left) hit a career-best 93 – no mean feat for a teenager who broke off his A-level studies at Farnborough College and who normally bats ten – as Rowledge piled up 253-9 (Tom Treble 47).
Hay hit four sixes and six boundaries in his 83, but his departure at 194-7 effectively ended it for Portsmouth, who were dismissed for 225 off the penultimate ball.
