 Charlie King 319 runs {pics Dave Vokes] |  Joe Vaughan 318 runs. |
With unbeaten leaders Hambledon sidelined, Old Tauntonians & Romsey skipper Charlie King and Joe Vaughan have an opportunity to enhance their standings in the Southern Premier Division 2 batting and bowling tables tomorrow.
They are among eight ‘eligible’ batsmen to have scored more than 300 runs this summer and lie third and fourth, respectively, in the charts.
Unless he gets injured, Hambledon’s South African run gun Matt De Villiers (694) is almost certain to top the SPL2 charts, but overseas cricketers are not eligible to win any prizes.
Teammate Dan McGovern (367) currently tops the UK log, but after his blistering 130 at Fawley has week, Andover left-hand all-rounder Charlie Ayers (342) lies second, marginally ahead of King (319) and Vaughan (318).
Leg spinner Vaughan is also well placed in the bowling charts, with 16 victims, four behind Fair Oak’s Ben Smith, who has two five-wicket hauls in his 20. Left-armer Matt Bampton has 18 scalps.
Smith faces King and Vaughan when Fair Oak entertain OTs & Romsey at Lapstone Park, where spinner Mo Abbas marks his Oaks return following his switch from Burridge.
Fair Oak: Harry Reed, Ben Smith, Ed Kemp, Monam Abbas, Sam Reed, Gregor Mckenzie, Tom Clark, Rich Featherstone, Asad Abbas, Freddie Eley, Ross Stewart.
Charlie Ayers looks to increase his 342-run tally and his 12-wicket haul when third placed Andover visit Hook & Newnham Basics II at the KGV.
Opener Sam Lockwood looks to regain his touch, but a shoulder injury has put Matt Love out.
Hook & Newnham Basics II: Sam Bruin, Sam Lockwood, Kevin Light, Ollie James, Dan Moore, Joe Allnutt, Jack Murrell, Billy Wyatt, Rupert Armstrong, Will Gardner, Charlie Bland.
Andover: Nyumbu, Ayers, Blackburn, Adams, Ashman, Knight, Williams, Hooper, Veettil, Jansen, Treagus.
Former Hampshire batsman Jason Laney nudged his way past 300 with a match winning 80 for St Cross Symondians II against Hartley Wintney last week. It got St Cross off the bottom and to within 20 points of Bashley (Rydal), whom they visit in round nine. Fawley go to Hartley Wintney.
• The top of the table match between Waterloovillle and Hambledon has been cancelled due to travellers invading Rowlands Avenue. Both clubs explored every avenue to get the game played.
