It was an exciting Tuesday in the Royal London
One-Day Cup as runs flowed, wickets tumbled and a two-year-old losing
streak was broken…
FANTASTIC FOXESAugust 14 2014. That’s the last time Leicestershire enjoyed a positive result in the One-Day Cup. Until today. They ended their win-less two-year period with a thumping victory over Lancashire. Posting 307 - courtesy of 90-plus scores from Mark Pettini and Mark Cosgrove - Neil Dexter’s career-best 4 for 22 ensured they defended it. And the rest, as they say, is history!
HOT COLESMatt Coles is a player you want on your team. When fully fit and firing he can be as difficult to face as anyone on the county circuit, as he proved with a superb six-fer against Hampshire. His awesome bowling efforts helped restrict Hampshire to 229 and set up a great Kent win.
COOL COLINImagine having to bowl to someone as destructive as Colin Ingram when he’s seeing it like a medicine ball. One of the top run scorers in the NatWest T20 Blast, he’s bringing that searing form to the one-day game. On Tuesday he crunched a magnificent 107 against Essex from just 73 balls, which featured six massive sixes. Nice!
WILL-I-SAMWho needs Ian Bell?! Warwickshire enjoyed a dominating win over Northants, thanks largely to a mammoth opening stand between William Porterfield and Sam Hain. Chasing down 254, they made sure everyone’s favourite cover-driver was hardly required. That said, he did manage to score the winning runs.
SOARING EAGLESEssex showed once again why they're top of the South group with a quite incredible victory over Glamorgan. There were no fewer than 649 runs in the match! Essex's Nick Browne led the Eagles' charge and was cruelly run out on 99, while big-hitting Jesse Ryder (50) and Ravi Bopara (59) also chipped in.
