Hampshire Over 50s return from Malaysia tour successful
Mike Vimpany - 12 December 2001

Hampshire Over-50s returned tired, exhausted but boasting an unblemished five-match winning record from their 17-day Malaysian tour.

The county veterans found the standard of Malay opposition generally disappointing, but the searing heat and intense energy-sapping humidity was hardly in their favour.

Hampshire Over 50s

Several players to leave the field suffering from exhaustion in matches which seldom exceeded 35-overs duration due to the heat.

Hursley Park's John Harris and Alan Wright (Liphook & Ripsley) batted consistently, with Calmore's sprightly all-rounder Billy Sims twice producing match-winning performances with the ball.
