SUNLG R7: 18 June 1995, REVIEW





SUNLG REVIEW - 18 Jun 1995

Glamorgan clinched an  exciting  29-run  win  over  Middlesex  at
Colwyn Bay to stay top of the AXA league.  Middlesex were chasing
250 and eventually found themselves needing 35 off the last three
overs,  but  Stephen Barwick grabbed the final two wickets to end
on 5-30.  Glamorgan skipper Hugh Morris had earlier hit a century
to  set  a  new Sunday aggregate scoring record for the county of
4,719 runs.  Morris put on 92 with Stephen James (31) and 60  for
the third wicket with Tony Cottey (35).

Kent skittled Yorkshire for just  75  to  maintain  their  second
place in the Sunday League table.  Even though they only made 161
themselves, Kent`s steady bowling and some poor Yorkshire batting
saw the visitors to victory.  Opener Trevor Ward kept Kent afloat
with 63 off only 71 balls but once he was out  the  innings  fell
aqay.   Yorkshire  could  not cope with the low bounce and Kent`s
bowlers shared the wickets around as the  home  side  beat  their
lowest Sunday score by just one run.

Leicestershire kept their 100% home record in this season`s  Sun-
day  League  with  a tense ten-run defeat of Notts in a thrilling
contest.  Injuries deprived both sides of bowlers and the batsmen
capitalized  by  hammering  a  total  of 560 runs.  Captain Nigel
Briers (54) set the basis for Leicester`s challenging  score   of
285-8.   Paul  Pollard  (74)  and Paul Johnson hit 81 runs off 11
overs as Notts hit back while Chris Cairns blasted 48  but  their
final total of 275-7 was not quite enough.

Ian Salisbury bowled Sussex to a ten-run win over Surrey with his
best Sunday display of the season.  Salisbury grabbed three wick-
ets in four balls to leave Surrey needing 14 from the final over,
a  task  which proved too much for them.  Sussex had scored 222-7
thanks to an unbeaten 39 from Danny Law, an entertaining 35  from
Franklyn  Stephenson and 48 extras.  A stand of 89 between Graham
Thorpe (53) and Adam Hollioake (36) raised  Surrey`s  hopes   but
Salisbury proved decisive as Surrey made 212.

Neil Fairbrother was stranded on an  unbeaten  99  as  Lancashire
completed  their  second one-day victory over Worcestershire in a
week.  Fairbrother and John Crawley (54) shared a stand of 115 in
18  overs  to make victory secure after Lancashire had slumped to
24-2.  Both men were dropped off Richard  Illingworth  and   were
also hit by Gavin Haynes but they kept calm.  Earlier Graeme Hick
maintained his recent good form with  an  unbeaten  80  from  115
balls in Worcester`s total of 189-8.

Ronnie Irani smashed a quickfire half-century to set  up  Essex`s
105-run  victory over Northants at Luton.  The all-rounder hit 50
off just 26 balls, with 24 coming from the penultimate  over   to
boost Essex`s total to a reasonable 216-6.  He gave valuable sup-
port to skipper Paul Prichard who made a classy 81  against  some
tight  bowling. Neil Mallender only conceded 19 runs.  Irani then
starred with the ball, removing both Northants openers,  and  the
hosts never recovered, collapsing to 111 all out.

Robin Smith and Sean Morris shared a century stand but could  not
save  Hampshire  from a tense four-run defeat by Gloucestershire.
Morris with a Sunday=best 87 and Smith (55) added 119 in 22 overs
before  both  fell to David Boden who ruined Hampshire`s chances.
Boden also removed Mark Nicholas for a duck to  leave  them  just
short  of  victory  on  219-5.  Gloucestershire`s 223-7 was built
around Mark Alleyne`s hard-hitting 70 and a bold  46  from  Monte
Lynch.

Daryll Cullinan`s unbeaten 76 was all in vain as Derbyshire  lost
to Somerset by 19 runs at Derby.  The hosts lost the match in the
middle of their innings when they managed only 68  runs from   20
overs  and  also lost four wickets.  Kim Barnett (30) and England
squad member Dominic Cork (36) had given them a good  start   but
Harvey  Trump bowled well as they only made 193-6.  Mark Lathwell
had hit 55 for the visitors and Keith Parsons was not out  on  52
as Somerset reached 212-7.

Four West Indians made their highest score of  the  tour  against
Durham  threadbare attack at Chester-le-Street.  Brian Lara (91),
Sherwin  Campbell  (113),  Courtney  Browne  (102no) and   Richie
Richardson (101) were the quartet in question.  However, the most
dazzling innings came from Lara, who made his 91  off  90  balls,
including  16  fours.   The  tourists amassed 462-5 from 95 overs
while Durham reached 31-0 in their second innings,  reducing  the
deficit to 67.
