LYMINGTON PUT UP THE SHUTTERS AND DENY HAVANT WIN

4/7/2017

0 Comments

 
Lymington fought a successful rearguard action against 50 overs of Havant spin to force a draw – but the result cost them the ECB British Gas Southern League leadership at the season’s midway point.
They held on at 154-7 in response to Havant’s challenging 217, having been 82-1 at one stage.
Zimbabwean left-hander Malcolm Lake (28), playing his last game for six weeks, gave the Lymington innings a typically forceful start with big six over mid-wicket and four boundaries.
But, with Lymington 38-0 in the fifth over, Lake departed to an outstanding catch in the deep by Steve Matthews.
Dom Hand, with a patient 44, and Richard Lock (28) eased Lymington to 82, but forcing the pace against Havant’s four-pronged spin attack was always difficult.
Any realistic prospect Lymington had of chasing down the Havant total effectively disappeared once Brad Taylor (3-36) trapped his Hampshire 2nd XI team-mate Calvin Dickinson leg before.
Havant rotated their bowlers, but Lymington held out fairly comfortably at 154-7 off 58 overs.
Earlier, Lake (5-54) had Havant rocking at 14-3, leaving Chris Stone (47) and Richard Hindley (46) to steady the ship.  Jez Bulled (38) and Andy Gorvin (33) steered Havant to 217, Matt Metcalfe finishing with 3-50.
