Kevin Nash is applauded off the field by his Bashley (Rydal) team-mates at Newclose after his Southern Premier Division best return of 6-27 set up an eight-wicket victory over basement boys Ventnor.
He underlined the essence of bowling a straight and tidy line in helpful conditions by clean bowling four Ventnor batsmen, having one caught behind and another trapped leg before wicket.
Ventnor, 18 points adrift at the foot of the table after a sixth straight defeat, were dismissed for 71 shortly after lunch and Bashley were on the boat home by tea-time, celebrating a third successive win.
Teenager Sean Read began the rot by bowling Rob Snell and then running out Ben Woodhouse.
Only Hugh Calloway (22) hung around long, although young John Buckman displayed the technique to keep Nash at bay.
Bashley soon lost opener Neil Thurgood, but had things wrapped up in the 11th over, with Tom Gates (20) and Michael Porter (18) undefeated. It was Bashley's third straight Time pennant win .. bring on South Wilts ! [Photo by Terry Nash, Kev's proud dad]
