FLOWERS MAKE IMPRESSIVE START

The Flower brothers, Andy and Grant, were in fine form  on  their
Birmingham  League  debuts  last  weekend.  Zimbabwe Test captain

ton,  while  Grant`s  97  helped  newly promoted Barnt Green to a

land Under 19 international of 1994, hit 143 in the draw with Old
Hill, and Steve Dean made a hundred in Walsall`s 199-run  deafeat
of  Aston Unity.  The first four Unity batsmen were out for ducks
as Paul Newman, with six wickets, and Kevin Arnold,  with   four,
bowled them out for 56.

gan  took a second successive five-wicket haul against Southwell.
