WORLD CHAMPIONS DOMINATE AUSSIES IN GAME 1![]()
![]()
England Over-50s showed their World Cup-winning efficiency with a clinical 6-wicket win over the touring Australian Over 50s Crickets at Mill Lane. ![]()
![]()
Australia won the toss and elected to bat, but England dual-Cooper opening attack was irresistible. Richard Cooper beat the forward defences of both Steve Mace and Tony Daly and was almost unhittable on his way to a man-of-the-match performance of 3/20 from 9.![]()
![]()
The Aussies were 54/6 and never really recovered despite a bit of late hitting from the under-rated Damien Meek (35). Off-spinner Martyn Gidley (3/12 from 9) and the irrepressible Stephen Foster (3/25) bundled Australia out for 133.![]()
![]()
Australia had a sniff when England were 19/2 - the excellent James Morris grabbing both - but solid contributions by Richard Trotman (28), Naseer Ahmed (40) and Roy Smith (29 not out) saw England home comfortably.![]()

STUNNING ALL-ROUND BUKHARI HELPS WALES CONQUER AUSSIES![]()
![]()
Last year, Wales' Ali Bukhari played 1 match for Wales Over-40s, scoring 115* from 98 balls on debut agaEngland Over 40s Cricketgland. Today, having graduated toWales Over 50s Cricketr 50s team, he made his debut agaAustralian Over 50s Cricketalian and whacked 136* from 106 balls, with 20 boundaries and 4 sixes, helping the Welsh from a precarious 44/4 to a relatively comfortable 2-wicket win. ![]()
![]()
Australia's 222 was led by 74 from Anthony Barranca but no one else passed 40 as the Welsh bowled well in home conditions. Bukhari (2/38) and the evergreen Roy Emmott (2/33) were the most successful bowlers.![]()
![]()
Then the skillful Aussie seam attack looked to have the game under control - before Bukhari's assault. Walking to the wicket at 40/3, he put on virtually a one-man show, as Simon Wood (20) and Kelvin Bartle (10) were the only other Welshmen to reach double figures. Bartle's contribution was 10 in a 67-run partnership, and John Toghill scored 6 as he and Bukhari put on 51 in a remarkable comeback.![]()
![]()
Grant Dew had the standout bowling figures of 3/14 from 9, but no one was stopping Bukhari today.![]()
![]()
As far as I can tell, Bukhari is the first player to score centuries on debut in two different age groups. Equally amazing is the fact that these are his only two international matches, and he is yet to be dismissed in either.![]()
