1st XI - Morpeth take Lintz to the Wire Morpeth looked to end their recent slump when high flying Lintz visited Longhirst on Saturday. With a green looking wicket the product of a rainy week, Lintz skipper Christie inserted the home side and the innings began in familiar fashion. Aussie duo Reynolds and Reagan were looking solid enough when Captain Reagan was bowled not offering a shot on 14. And Wailes soon following trapped in front by the experienced but lively Christie, who also sent Maxted back to the pavilion with a well disguised slower ball getting through the wicket-keeper’s defences in the next over.
Palmer then strode out to rebuild with
Reynolds looking solid. The pair gradually began to turn things around,
and after a watchful start the Western Australian began to branch out with
shots all around the ground. At his graceful best, Reynolds produced
masterful cuts and drove strongly, with anything too straight disappearing
through the on-side. Palmer began to look his fluent best, looking
especially polished through the offside. The level headed 19-year-old
provided more than able support as Reynolds raced past fifty, and the pair
showed no signs of letting up when Palmer was run out for an impressive
and mature 43. The outcome had looked increasingly probable after some
indifferent communication between the wicket. Jonny Wailes |
