Hampshire's Fletcha Middleton carried his bat for an unbeaten 113 for his Aussie club Belmont - but it was in a losing cause as Newcastle Premier champions Wallsend chased down 229-5 to win by five wickets.
Out of nick recently, Middleton hit a six and seven fours, underpinning Belmont's total, but Wallsend, 21-3 at one stage, eased home with eight overs to spare.
Archie Lenham, recently released by Sussex starred in Newcastle's win over Cardiff. He took 3-11 in his ten over stint before making a priceless 33.
South Wilts raised Luke Evans, who emigrated several years ago, bagged 5-43 for St Patrick’s against Tallangatta in the Cricket Albury Wodonga (CAW) Provincial A Grade which resulted in a breathtaking tie with each team scoring exactly 193.
He currently sits equal third 3rd in the bowling stats for the league with 10 wickets at 18.7 after four rounds while he is also a hard-hitting number 7 or 8 batter. In a recent interview, the local Border Mail did a feature on him when he spoke about adapting to the Kookaburra ball after being used to the Dukes ball in the UK and developing variations to help him take wickets.
Now vice-captain at St Patrick's, Luke spoke about the beneficial experiences of developing as he moved up through the Hampshire age groups and into the 2nd XI. He experienced net bowling against Australia, England, Pakistan and India. During a spell with the MCC YCs. he also enjoyed games with Surrey and Middlesex 2nd XIs.
The city of Melbourne is renowned for having four seasons in a single day and when heavy rain washed out the weekend's entire Victoria Premier and Sub-District cricket programme, Bashley (Rydal) pair Dan Goodey and Michael Porter were among those left kicking their heels.
Goodey (centre) wasted no time in sounding out a couple of Aussies for next summer's SPL programme and is pictured in preliminary talks.
