Old Tauntonians & Romsey all-rounder Joe Vaughan cracked an unbeaten career best 155 for his adopted Melbourne club Bentleigh against Southern Bayside League rivals Hampton.
His knock contained 17 fours and helped Bentleigh post 316-7 off 80 overs. It was Vaughan's second hundred in Australia, where he also wintered last year.
'I would say the standard of the Southern Bayside League is comparable to lower echelons of SPL but most teams have good overseas players to bring the standards up. The turf pitches and outfields are used for Aussie Rules, but already in good nick', Vaughan said.
Hampton will begin their reply on day two this Saturday.
