Game 2
Cornwall won the toss again and yet again put Wiltshire in to set a target. With only 18 runs on the board Wiltshire had lost their top three and were looking to be in a precarious position. This brought skipper Ed Young (Wadworth Man of the Day) to the crease and he played a captain’s innings just when it was needed. He was ably supported by Cyrus Shafi (21) as they put on 63 for the fourth wicket.
Stan Brown (24 not out) was next in and in an unbroken stand he saw the total rise to 153. After fifteen overs the score was just 86 for 4 and it was looking doubtful whether Wiltshire could set a challenging target. However, in an unbelievable final over Ed Young (83 not out) hit 22 runs (4,2,4,4,2,6) and lifted the Wiltshire score to 153 for 4.
The reply from Cornwall had them well in touch with the necessary scoring rate, but they lost wickets regularly. A partnership between Tom Orpe (28) and Will MacVicar (68 not out) saw them move the score on from 23 for 2 to 90 for 3. The partnership was broken by a sharp run out by Archie Fairfax-Ross. Cornwall’s heroes from the first game, MacDonald and Hooper, could only muster fifteen runs between them this time around. Good work in the field with catches for Jake Goodwin, Archie Fairfax-Ross, Stan Brown and Tom Cheater saw Cornwall reach 138 for 5 after 19 overs.
Sam Freestone was given the responsibility of the final over which he began in style by flattening the wicket of Hooper. They now had just five balls to score a challenging 16 runs to win. MacVicar had earlier hit three mighty sixes, but he was unable to repeat that in the final over and the total rose to just 144 for 6 and victory for Wiltshire.
It was again a great team effort, but all would have been in vain if it wasn’t for the heroics of captain Ed Young in that final over.
Before their next T20 fixture Wiltshire have a National Trophy Quarter Final 50 over match against Oxfordshire. This will take place at Warminster on Sunday 7th June. This season’s form has been excellent with any number of players offering match-winning form. They then have a week to recover before resuming T20 action against Dorset at Wimborne on 21st June.
