James Trodd
His late grandfather Terry would have been proud and his grandmother Jan most certainly was as she sat in the Bath scorebox, meticulously penning the Hampshire Under-17s scorebook, as she has done for many years.
Grandson James Trodd’s 6-30 return, which set up a thumping nine-wicket win for Hampshire over Somerset YCs in the ECB Royal London County Championships, really was one for the family album.
Terry Trodd coached and managed Hampshire U17s for many successful seasons and now James plays an important new-ball role in it.
Trodd’s six-wicket haul sent Somerset packing for 141 and set the platform for Toby Albert to make a maiden 115 (14 fours) and with Fletcha Middleton (63), Tom South (57), James Regan (55) and Scott Currie (43) steer Hampshire to 404 and a substantial 263 first innings lead.
Spin twins Kamran Khanna (5-94) and Mo Abbas (4-74) sent down a combined 49 overs to bowl Somerset out for 296 second time around. Tom Prest completed he formalities.
Somerset 141 (Meadows 48, Toohey 34*, Trodd 6-30, Broderick 2-31) and 296 (Hall 52*, Baird 42, Khanna 5-94, Abbas 4-74)
Hampshire 404 (Albert 115, Middleton 63, South 57, Regan 55, Currie 43, Prest 34, Gilbert 5-74) and 36-1 (Prest 27*).
Hampshire won by nine wickets and now play Worcestershire at Totton & Eling on Monday, 11am.
