SECOND ROUSE CENTURY: SECOND SYMONDIANS VICTORY

8/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Adam Rouse cracked a second consecutive century as St Cross Symondians celebrated back-to-back wins for the first time this season when they avenged a thumping opening day defeat and beat Lymington by six wickets.
Back in early May, Darren Cowley punished an under-cooked St Cross by scoring a hundred himself and then following it up with a five-wicket haul to set up a massive 168-run win for Lymington.
The roles were reversed at the Sports Ground, where Rouse – who made 111 against the Hampshire Academy the previous week – struck a boundary strewn 113 to lead St Cross to victory.
Lymington were on the back foot all morning and lunched uneasily at 108-6 (Dominic Hand 43).
Matt Metcalfe’s 64, which included two sixes and eight fours, at least gave the Lymington dressing room some belief – something that became a lot more positive when Felix Ambrose bowled Kiwi star Michael Pollard (25) at 61-4.
But that was as good as it got for Lymington, whose fielders played ‘fetch’ after that – retrieving balls from the boundary struck there by Rouse.
The former Hampshire prospect slammed six maximums and 13 fours in his 113, and dominated an unbroken 139-run partnership with Jack Bransgrove (31 not out) as St Cross raced to a 25-point victory in 36 overs.
