SPINNERS REIGN AS 17 WICKETS FALL IN BASHLEY WIN

CAPTAIN Simon Watkins lauded his bowling unit after spinners Tom Andrews and Sam Thomson tied Burridge up in knots.
Andrews (pictured) claimed 5-20 and Cricketer of the Month Thomson 4-46 to help Bashley seize a three-wicket win at BCG, where 17 wickets fell for under 200 runs, writes Ned Payne of the Bournemouth Echo.
Burridge were dismissed for just 96 in the Southern Electric Premier Division affair, a total which the hosts surpassed in the 24th over for the loss of seven wickets.
And while Andrews and Thomson earned memorable figures, Watkins insisted that seamers Kevin Nash and Jake Lilley had also deserved credit.
Nash in particular impressed with just 10 runs conceded in five overs, which included three maidens.
Watkins said: “The seamers set the tone up front and although they didn't get any wickets, both bowled incredibly well.
"There seemed to be at least three misses an over from their batsmen and we didn't give them many bad balls and built pressure right from the off.
"Kevin had one of their batsman completely tied up – he just couldn't get near the ball.
"The spinners took it on from there. The batters had felt pressure from the seamers so they had to play a few shots against the spinners and wickets came our way.
"We were patient, kept hitting our areas and that gave us some joy. We were very pleased to get them out for 96 because we felt it was comfortably a 200 pitch.
"It was a fantastic performance by the bowlers. Only having to use four bowlers when we had others in the locker showed how good those four were."
Opener Dan Hewitt (25) and latterly Rick Ankers (29) top scored for Burridge.
James Morris top-scored with 27 as Bashley did just enough to secure victory with their reply. Opener Michael Porter also contributed 22 to the cause.
Watkins continued: "We always knew we were going to get the runs, it was just a case of how difficult we made it for ourselves. We took off the gas a bit but we always knew we'd win.
"We still have some work to do on our batting if we want to get close to the top two teams in the league."
