I think it was Nat “King” Cole, the Blues & Soul singer, who had a major hit song called “Again” some time in the past. That song must have been specially dedicated to the West Indies cricket team, for, again, they were destroyed by some good fast bowling. While good, the bowling was not so good that the West Indies cricket team should only have made 125 on such a perfect batting pitch. The West Indies batting on Day 3 was shameful, at best. They can hide behind no excuses this time. 54; 61; now 125. What next, one wonders!The West Indies started at 11:00am BST at 13-0. By 11:35am BST, they had progressed to 32-0. Then hell, or more aptly, Andy Caddick, Darren Gough, Dominic Cork and especially Craig White broke loose. Perhaps that is the concept of “hell” that the West Indies cricketers now have. In exactly three hours, at 2:35pm BST, the West Indies had been dismissed; the 1st innings in complete disarray, all out for another “lottery number”.Again, Sherwin Campbell played away from his body to Dominic Cork. Again he got an inside edge, since the batsman’s feet had not moved. Again that inside edge cannoned on to the off stump. One wonders if Campbell will learn at all, or if the Coaches are getting through to him, or if the Coaches are getting through to anyone at all.From 32-0, the West Indies were destroyed by some of the most determined and careful fast bowling seen for some time, except the aggression was not the “bouncer and body-line” type, but the type which suggested that a plan had been devised by England for the plethora of left handers that the West Indies presented as players masquerading as batsmen. The English fast bowler, in contrast to the ‘body-line” aggression at Lord’s during Test No. 2, bowled at a much fuller length, but the batsmen wilted just the same; again!Again, playing as mindlessly as he had done at Leeds, Adrian Griffith drove away from his body to a Craig White delivery, immediately after Campbell’s dismissal, only to see the resultant flying edge taken high but well by Graeme Hick at 2nd slip. Remembering that he lost his off stump in a similar manner at Leeds, one wonders if this team has any hope. They just keep doing the same things over and over again.Then, the real nail in the West Indies coffin was effected. Brian Lara, whom the press everywhere had put great pressure on by suggesting that he will be the man to change things for the West Indies in this Test, played across the first delivery he received, from Craig White, bowling around the wicket, instead of playing fully out, and heard rather than saw his leg stump disturbed behind his back. The shout of celebration from White, his team-mates and the English supporters could have been heard all the way to Maraval, where Lara lives in Trinidad & Tobago.I am convinced that the English cricket team had done their homework on the left handers in the West Indies cricket team. Immediately that Craig White came on to bowl, he started from around the wicket to Adrian Griffith, the batsman just digging out a yorker, because he was at the crease for a spell; White’s first delivery. Lara was not so lucky, He saw nothing as the ball slanted into and away from him to leg, to hit the leg stump.That did not happen by accident, as White never bowled over the wicket for the entire day while bowling to a left hander. That was definitely a plan!Wavell Hinds soon took a delivery on his pad which was headed to middle stump, and suddenly, the West Indies were 34-4. England’s bowlers were being tremendously accurate, and Craig White and Dominic Cork, the 2nd tier of England’s attack, were the destroyers this time. What an attack this is turning out to be.For once Ramnaresh Sarwan let ambition become greater that his team’s position, for, as he drove with his head in the air, he lost his balance, the resulting edge careening to Marcus Trescothick at gully for the fieldsman to take a great sharp catch. At 39-5, the West Indies looked as if they were not even going to be able to save the follow-on; 82 required.It was suggested by many that Jimmy Adams looked very tired when he approached the crease to bat. Certainly his stroke, to give catching practice to Hick at slip from Cork’s bowling, suggested that Adams was indeed tired, probably from the tour, probably from his team’s efforts. 56-6 was not a great position to be in when England had already made 281.Had it not been for a real face saving partnership of 44 between a much improved and gutsy Nixon McLean; both his batting and bowling looked tremendously useful; and the resurging Ridley Jacobs, the West Indies would have been embarrassed even further. They had come to the crease after Mahendra Nagamootoo, picked to bowl leg breaks, but recognized as a fair batter, showed his worth for 18, helping Jacobs to carry the score from 51-6 to 74-7. What a completes shambles this was!!Once Mc Lean was gone, bowled from the inside edge from White, again from around the wicket, it was all over, not including the shouting. That, of course, continued apace, and rightly so. The West Indies were again decimated by fast purposeful fast bowling, operating with a plan. That final score of 125 attested to that.A final thought on England’s 3rd Day efforts. There was no real help from the pitch for the bowlers. It was true and firm and played very well. The bowlers simply put the ball down in the right places and allowed the West Indies to, again, make themselves look like fools batting. How a team could manage to make itself look like a kindergarten school’s cricket team as well as the West Indies cricket team does is anyone’s guess. England’s bowlers were magnificent, and Craig White, who got his best Test figures to date, 11-1-32-5, deserves to be the head of the pack. He, and the rest of the English contingent, planned their efforts well and executed well.Even with the eventual wickets of Marcus Trescothick and the luckless Nasser Hussein, the West Indies are slowly being, if indeed it has not yet happened, played out of the game. With a lead of already 212 with eight wickets in hand, and only six sessions left in the game, it is still possible for the West Indies to pull of a magnificent, magical win, but not very likely.England hold all of the aces now. All they have to do is bat at least two of those sessions and score perhaps another 100 runs. Making over 300 runs is possible, but who would bet on the West Indies doing a Barbados again, when Lara and his boys managed a miracle? Again?

Lancashire completed a 20 points win over Somerset today which should clinchthem runners-up place in the championship for the third year on the trot.Theoretically Surrey need a point to retain the title when they visit OldTrafford on Wednesday for the final game of the season. But there is no wayLancashire can even dream of a 20-0 victory, as a first innings declarationby Adam Hollioake would foil them of bonus points.But today Lancashire were happy enough with an innings and 109 runs overover Surrey – and a landmark for acting captain Warren Hegg.The 32 years-old keeper took his catches tally to 635, a Lancashirerecord, beating the 634 of George Duckworth who played between the wars.Hegg, who yesterday hit his first century in four years, passed Duckworth’s milestone by claiming the first three catches today, the third ending a defiant innings by left-hander Ian Blackwell who slammed two sixes and five fours in his 37 before top-edging an attempted hook off Glen Chapple.Michael Burns and Graham Rose had already fallen to Lancashire’s potentseam attack and Somerset’s last chance of survival disappeared when PeterBowler, on 75, was snapped up off bat and pad off left-arm spinner GaryKeedy’s first over.Jason Kerr followed Blackwell’s example but tried one big shot too manyoff leg-spinner Chris Schofield and only lunch further delayed Lancashire,the lastwicket falling nine balls after the interval when Steffan Jones wasrun out.

Two thumping wins over the best team in the world and a neighbour with whom you share a spicy rivalry is reason enough for joy. But as it came on the back of six losses in eight games in the CB series in Australia recently, it is little wonder Stephen Fleming, the New Zealand captain, was moved to call his side’s five-wicket win at Eden Park an “amazing day”.”It was an amazing day, great for the game and great for us to get across the line in a big-scoring match,” Fleming said, after his side had chased down 337 to clinch the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy with a game to spare.Before this series, New Zealand had only won two of their last 22 ODIs against their Trans-Tasman rivals, a run stretching out over five years. In less than a week, they have doubled that tally.”We’ve fallen short numerous times against Australia. A lot of work has been done behind the scenes, we’ve been smart off the field, but the performances have let us down on it.””We’ve tried to maintain a positive feel but we didn’t expect the results to be as spectacular as the last two,” Fleming added, referring also to his side’s ten-wicket win in the first game, Australia’s first such loss ever.New Zealand’s chase was the second-highest ever in ODIs, five runs more than their previous best chase, also against Australia. “Scores of around 300 and over are now gettable and teams believe they have a chance if the conditions are right,” Fleming explained.

Not that that revelation will be of any consolation to Michael Hussey, Australia’s captain in this series. Australia own many records in modern-day cricket though that of now being on the receiving end of the three largest ODI chases ever is not one they will be proud of.Worryingly, the three chases have come in the last 14 months. But Hussey insisted the personnel weren’t at fault. “I know big totals being chased down is an area of concern and we’re going to have to get better at it,” said Hussey, who himself made an accomplished 105 in the game.”But I still think we’ve got the right people in the team and in the squad. I actually don’t think we did too badly with the ball and in the field. A few things didn’t go our way, we had a few very close shaves, and on another day they might go our way.”This was Australia’s fourth straight defeat and fifth in their last six games, which as a run-in to defending their world crown, is hardly ideal. They are also fretting over injuries to key players, including Andrew Symonds and Brett Lee. But Hussey said there was no need, just yet, for panic.”It’s not ideal but though we’re disappointed the spirit is okay. We can’t afford to panic and make wholesale changes. We have to trust our personnel, our own games and each other. I know if we keep working hard we’ll be fine.”

ScorecardBenny Howell recorded his maiden first-class hundred (file photo)•PA Photos

Benny Howell helped himself to a first ever first-class century as Gloucestershire moved into a position of strength at the end of the third day of their Division Two game against Leicestershire at Cheltenham.Without so much as a first-class half-century this summer and with a previous best of 83 not out back in 2012, Howell posted three figures for the first time in his career on the penultimate day of the Cheltenham Festival.It was an innings of real grit and determination from the 26-year-old on a day when Leicestershire were left to wonder what might have been had wicket keeper Lewis Hill have held on to a catch from Michael Klinger in the first hour.Klinger, despite losing third wicket partner Gareth Roderick for 19, passed 50 shortly after lunch. However, having reached 60, the Australian, who was standing in as captain for the injured Ian Cockbain, edged Charlie Shreck to a grateful Hill, at 131 for 4.Leicestershire, sensing their opportunity, continued to bowl with purpose thereafter as Howell and Kieran Noema-Barnett did their bit to nudge the total forward.The fifth wicket pair passed 150 in the 74th over and put the host county in a strong position at tea.Howell, who recognised his responsibility in the absence of Cockbain, dropped anchor and batted with genuine care and attention before the new ball was taken, by Mark Cosgrove, in the 81st over.With Noema-Barnett providing solid support, Howell pushed on and eventually reached his 50 off 156 balls, with four fours and one six.After tea, and with the wicket playing as well as it had done at any time over the first three days, Noema-Barnett celebrated his first 50 in Gloucestershire colours, off 86 balls and with Howell put on 139 for the fifth wicket before chipping a half volley from Shreck to extra cover.Having celebrated his 100, off 202 balls, Howell, who hit 12 fours and a six, was out off the very next ball, lbw to Clint McKay for 102.Gloucestershire’s late order added valuable runs in the final session before their second innings finally came to an end when Liam Norwell was caught behind off Raine. Shreck was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with 5 for 82 from 34 overs.Having been set a target of 325 to win, Leicestershire survived the final eight overs of the day to reach 11 without loss.

Finally, in his 22nd innings of the season, Ed Joyce had a Championship century to cheer•Getty Images

Ed Joyce has been emblematic of Sussex’s uncertain season. The club captain ended 2014 as the second highest run-scorer in Division One, and with more centuries than anyone else in the country. For Ireland in the World Cup, he acquired the role of not merely batting talisman but de facto spokesman for the entire associate world, pummeling the West Indies and Zimbabwe on the pitch and myopic administration off it.Such assertiveness has been absent from his return to county cricket. Joyce’s first 21 innings of the season brought copious starts but just two half-centuries and no hundreds. Nestled in those statistics, together with the spate of pace bowling injuries Sussex have suffered, is a large part of the explanation of why the club lie eighth in Division One.Joyce began this innings against Yorkshire resembling a man who has made few runs of late. His opening partnership with Luke Wells began at a funereal rate, scoring at under two an over for the first 20 overs. But what mattered was they survived, even as Wells was almost run out in the first over and Joyce narrowly avoided edging an egregious swipe at a wide ball from Tim Bresnan, promoting much chuntering from the Sussex fans.It took the introduction of Adil Rashid’s legspin for Joyce to reacquaint himself with the more intrepid style that he credited his form last year. A delivery on his pads was clipped over long on for six; two balls later Joyce essayed a pristine drive through the covers for four.Belatedly the Hove crowd was treated to the Joyce they have become so accustomed to: driving languidly through the offside, manipulating any width by playing the ball late with his supple wrists, and occasionally giving notice of his power. At 5:47, Joyce took two decisive steps down the wicket and lofted Rashid down the ground for six. Finally, he had his first Championship century of the summer.Joyce’s duel with Rashid, unwavering in his determination to flight the ball even as he was attacked, provided the most intoxicating cricket of the game so far. Even as Joyce scored freely off him, hitting 44 off 45 balls he faced from Rashid, he was never unperturbed by the legspinner.”He was threatening to get me out – he had a bit of rough to bowl into and he’s a very good bowler,” Joyce said. “I always feel with someone like that you have to keep scoring.” Yet the approach eventually cost Joyce his wicket when, to his evident chagrin, he flicked Rashid rather tamely to short leg just after reaching his century.This performance distilled the essence of Rashid. Operating from the Sea End, the end preferred by Mushtaq Ahmed, Rashid erred both in bowling too full and too short, and dragged the ball down the legside too often to boot. Yet, on a rather turgid wicket, Rashid was by a distance Yorkshire’s most threatening bowler, for all the discipline their seamers displayed. When Wells and Joyce had added a hundred for the opening wicket, Rashid reawakened the game from its slumber, uprooting Wells’ offstump with a delivery that seemed to turn less than the batsman envisaged and then inducing Matt Machan to poke his second ball to short leg.Asked whether Rashid was ready for Test cricket, Joyce gave an emphatic “yes”. “Like any legspinner he bowls bad balls, but he bowls wicket-taking balls. The real attraction with him is the fact he’s a very, very fine batsman as well.”Rashid is not the only Tyke playing at Hove with designs on a place in England’s Test squad for the trip to the UAE. While Yorkshire’s England contingent were struggling at The Oval, Gary Ballance brought up his century from the tenth ball of the day, nudging Ollie Robinson through midwicket for four. After a rather turbulent summer it was a significant moment in Ballance’s career. That his celebration eschewed histrionics reflected the understated manner of the man.Thereafter Ballance became increasingly contemptuous of Sussex’s spin options – or lack thereof. He used his feet to smear Chris Nash down the ground for four, and then lifted him over long on for six. It was a matter of considerable surprise when his offstump was uprooted by extra pace from Chris Liddle, though by that point Ballance had made 50 more than Adam Lyth’s tally in nine innings against Australia this summer.”It’s been a tough few weeks, but that gave me a bit of confidence,” Ballance said. “You’ve got to be mentally strong to back your own game and what’s got you here. That’s what I’ve done.” He has not pushed to bat at three, the position he occupied for England until being dropped after the second Ashes Test. “I don’t really mind where I bat. I’ve always said that when I play for Yorkshire I’ll bat wherever they want me to. I’m happy to bat at five if they want me to, but if they want me to bat three next game, I’ll do that.”For most of the morning the tannoy’s announcement that the Yorkshire President Dickie Bird had mislaid his cap was the most Sussex fans had to cheer about, as Bresnan combined with Ballance to add 197 runs for the seventh wicket, a Yorkshire record against Sussex. The day ended with the whereabouts of Bird’s cap still unknown, but the destination of the Division One title is rather less of a mystery.

Cricket Australia has announced that Jess Cameron will take an indefinite break from domestic and international cricket.Cameron will play out the remainder of the WNCL season for Western Australia but will not play for the Perth Scorchers in the WBBL and is unavailable for international selection until further notice.Cameron is believed to have lost her former enjoyment for the game and has told team-mates she needs a break.A member of the squad that toured England this year for the Women’s Ashes series, Cameron played one ODI and three T20s against England in that series.

Tim Cutler, the chief executive of Hong Kong Cricket, has entered the debate over their one-day practice match against England in Abu Dhabi, calling it “a historic event where the teams met for the first ever time in a fifty over match” and holding out hopes of a full ODI against England in the future.While expressing gratitude to England for the opportunity, he also reflected upon Hong Kong’s ODI status and warned: “We need to make sure there are cohesive plans around fast tracking the development of emerging cricket nations across the globe.”The match was played as a 13-a-side practice match with the opportunity to play a full ODI against Hong Kong, who won full ODI status last year, not taken.Cutler suggested that time was short after the Emirates Cricket Board offered the Hong Kong fixture to England – and a Nepal fixture to Pakistan – via the ICC Development Team in Dubai.”To provide the best possible practice situation for both teams, it was then agreed between the coaching staff of both teams that 13 players would be allowed to participate from each team, with only 11 allowed to bat and/or field at any one time.”We appreciate the opportunity for our players to benefit from the experience in playing against a full-strength England ODI squad in preparation for Hong Kong’s ICC Intercontinental Cup and ICC World Cricket League Championship matches.”Cutler was careful to show gratitude to ECB, and especially his fellow chief executive Tom Harrison, for their qualified support and also praised Harrison’s interest in cricket as an Olympic sport, indicating that – comparatively at least – there are some signs of a more expansionist attitude under Harrison’s stewardship.

Hong Kong in talks for county pre-season tours

Hong Kong Cricket are hoping to continue their development by attracting first-class counties to the region in March.

Fresh from their first 50-over match against England, the HKCA now hopes that at least one county may be persuaded to prepare for the English domestic campaign by touring the territory for pre-season.

It is understood the club have been attracted by the possibility of their costs being subsidised by sponsorship arranged by the HKCA.

The HKCA, meanwhile, want to “present Hong Kong as a viable option for similar tours in the future,” in the words of their CEO, Tim Cutler and showcase their facilities at the Hong Kong Cricket Club and Kowloon Cricket Club. They hope such a tour might encourage more sponsorship for the sport from within the region.

They also aim to “build relationships and pathways” for their young players, in the hope that some could gain school or club places in England.

But he did not sidestep the very real issues facing Associate nations as they attempt to gain opportunities to grow the game, confirming that a reluctance from all parties to foot the bill for an ODI (thought to be less than $100,000) had played a part in the negotiations.”In response to various media reports and approaches; yes, the matter of the total cost for an ODI was mentioned during the (last minute) arrangements of the fixture, as would be expected,” he said.”Perhaps, if both parties had longer to prepare, a full ODI may have been feasible and hopefully this is something both parties can consider for the future. However the reality was that in the time available – less than a month – the proper arrangements that would normally be covered by a series MOU could not be completed in time.A memorandum of understanding describes a formal agreement between the parties indicating how a match should be staged and can vary in complexity depending on the requirements of those involved.”However frustrating it may seem (especially from an Associate ODI-status member perspective) the fixture would not have proceeded if not for the support of the ECB, especially its CEO, Tom Harrison. Tom has been one of the main drivers behind the scenes in the ECB’s change of stance to now support Cricket as an Olympic sport and the HKCA applauds his efforts in this respect.”I believe including cricket in the Olympics, alongside an expanded World Cup & World Twenty20 tournament structure are all critical to our sport’s growth. If we ever truly want to be the world’s favourite sport, we need to make sure there are cohesive pans around fast tracking the development of emerging cricket nations across the globe.”I think this particular instance highlights a need for an expanded fund / mechanism to support ODI / T20i matches between FMs and all High Performance Associate Members to underpin the bridging of the gaps between cricket emerging and the developed world. I look forward to discussing this more with the ICC Development Team as they continue to assist us in our future plans for Hong Kong’s cricketing success.”Hong Kong, ranked 16th in ODIs and 11th in T20Is, are holding preliminary discussions with at least two such nations.They also have a T20 fixture against Pakistan later in the month – although as yet this also has no T20 status – before official T20s against Afghanistan and Oman.March sees Hong Kong in a second, and successive, World Twenty20. Prior to the tournament, Hong Kong will host an inaugural home series against Scotland in January, and will take part in the Asia Cup qualifying tournament in Bangladesh in mid-February.

Everton Matambanadzo returned to bowling form in Zimbabwe A’s second match of the Emerging Nations tournament, against Kenya, when he took four good wickets in a match left drawn after rain in mid-afternoon. He talks to John Ward about the match.JW: Everton, can you describe the conditions during the match, please?EM: When we arrived this morning the pitch looked quite hard, a good batting track, and there was a bit of moisture and some grass there so we decided to bowl. Bryan Strang and I were hoping to use the new ball quite well and we did; we got two early wickets. We had them in trouble quickly at 12 for two, and then they batted quite well; they just grafted their runs. Tikolo stroked it quite nicely, timed the ball very well, played some good shots off Craig Evans, and then we got him out and wickets fell from then on.JW: Which other batsmen impressed you?EM: I thought Maurice Odumbe and the left-hander Hitesh Modi played well and put on quite a good partnership there just when they needed it. Unfortunately for them they got out at a crucial stage for them, but that’s just one of those things; you’ve got to play shots and can’t just sit on the handle all day.JW: Can you describe how you took your wickets?EM: The first one was bowled, Francis Otieno, with an off-cutter that he misread and it knocked him over. I was bowling away-swingers to the other guy, and I’m sure he was told it was going to be away-swingers and he was looking to leave it, but it jagged back. My second wicket was Odumbe. He chased a wide one and was caught at third man.Then I yorked the left-hander, Modi, a reverse-swinger from around the wicket, and then Thomas Odoyo. I did him with a slower ball. He had missed a couple of them earlier on, so I started off bowling him yorkers and slower balls, and he was caught at deep square leg.JW: You looked to be bowling pretty well, better than I’ve seen you for some time.EM: I had a nice rhythm; I decided I was just going to let it go and bowl as quick as I can, and whatever happens, happens.JW: Who else bowled well?EM: Bryan Strang bowling very well; he swung it, he seamed it,he bowled line and length, especially up front. At the end hepicked up three wickets, and with the tail-enders it’s goodbowling; he just bowled straight and if they missed he hit. Ofthe spinners Gavin Rennie surprisingly bowled quite well, andthey didn’t play him very well. He came from over the wicket,bowled on off stump and they just couldn’t get him away. He gottwo wickets for almost nothing. Raymond Price did okay; he did agood job for us, but in my opinion bowled too many arm balls,which denied him wickets. I think if he had bowled more spinnershe would have taken wickets too.JW: There was pretty good support in the field.EM: Yes, the fielding was pretty good. As is usual in thesematches we had our ups and downs, some bad patches, especiallybetween the fifteenth and twentieth overs. The guys got a bittired after quite a long session for us. But after then wepicked up and we kept up the pressure to the end.JW: What are your comments about the Zimbabwean innings, as faras it went?EM: We seemed to start very well. Mark Vermeulen was strokingit with good timing, played a lot of shots, gave some chances butat the same time gave us a great start. We got to 50 in eightovers, between him and Doug Marillier, which put us in a goodposition to kick on and chase a total like 220. When we have agood opening stand like that, it simplifies the chase.JW: It’s a pity the rain should come with the match so wellbalanced.EM: Yes, yes. Under the new rules we have to play 25 overs toconstitute a match, so hopefully we’ll get back on and get thosefive overs bowled. I know we only need four runs to do it[without losing a wicket].JW: A much better performance than yesterday, I thought.EM: I didn’t watch all of yesterday’s game, but certainly therewas a lot more purpose about the batting. I watched bits andpieces, but the way the innings started, at least. You couldsee, we had a game plan when we went out there to try and achievethis total, rather than walking out there and just batting.

Rahul Dravid steered Kent safely home by six wickets in their championshipwin over Hampshire at Portsmouth (the last championship match to be played onthe ground). After making 137 in the first innings the Indian star scored 73n.o. as Kent won in the last over before lunch.The visitors were already in sight of victory when the day began and they proceeded to 182-1 with no alarms in spite of another long spell by Shane Warne who bowled 32 overs without success. Shaun Udal took all four wickets which fell today. With only 23 runs needed to win Kent appeared to have an attack of nerves after Robert Key and Dravid had added 115 runs for the second wicket. He had batted some 300 minutes for his valuable 50 and was out when Warne runningbackwards held a top edge.
Alan Wells was l.b.w to the next ball making Kent 182-3 and twelve runs later Matthew Walker was caught in the slips. Dravid and Paul Nixon attained the remaining 11 without further problems. The former’s innings lasted 202 minutes with 11 boundaries from 140 balls. Udal ended with 4-42 from 20 overs.Admittedly the loss of young quick bowler Simon Francis through an elbow injury had hampered Hampshire, but they had suffered from poor batting on the third day.

Delhi gained eight points on account of an innings and 21 run victoryover J&K in a North Zone U-14 league match at the Sports Stadium inKathua. Electing to bat on day one, Delhi declared their first inningsat 275 for 9 in 77 overs. Skipper G Chabra led the way with a stylish122 in 177 balls. Then Delhi’s Tehlan who took 4 wickets combined withKarki and Pant who both took 3 wickets to restrict J&K to just 104 in64.3 overs. Only opener I Dev offered some resistance to make 43.Then following on, 171 runs behind, J&K didn’t do well in their secondessay either by getting out for 150 in 99.4 overs. Tehlan was the mostsuccessful bowler again by taking 3 wickets. I Dev again was theleading scorer having made 46.
