Tom Scriven in full flight in Grade final [Richard Gosling]
Hampshire prospect Tom Scriven produced a stunning man-of-the-match performance as his adopted Australian club Broadbeach Robina carried off the Gold Coast Kookaburra Cup with a six-wicket victory over minor premiers Alberton Ormeau.
He returned a career-best 7-43 with the ball before hitting 32 as Broadbeach chiselled off the 119 runs they needed to win the trophy for the first time in eight years.
Scriven’s spell was his fourth six-wicket plus return of the calendar year and took his tally of ‘poles’ to 41 for the season – no wonder the Queensland club has invited the West Ilsley youngster back again next winter !
The 2018 England Under-19 World Cup all-rounder is now on his way back to the UK, having also made 450-plus runs for Broadbeach. He will link up with Hampshire later this week.
