| Hartlepool's encounter with Great Ayton was dominated by bowlers in the
main with no batsman able to pass 50 in either innings. Great Ayton
were subdued once Rio Afridi has departed and Hartlepool's attack of
Palmer, Jackson, Gunarathne and Gough pulled the home team into the
contest.
Thara Gunarathne finished with 4 wickets, Palmer 3 and one each for
Jackson and Gough as Great Ayton were bowled out for 161 in the 50th
over. Debutant Chris Fawcett (43) and Mike Gough (38) began soundly
and took the total to 91 before the first wicket fell. It proved to
be the spark that Great Ayton were looking for and wickets began to fall
at regular intervals. Rio Afridi and John Grainge proving
irresistible as they scented an unlikely victory.
Hartlepool were indebted to the defensive qualities of Jack Wilkinson
who battled for 51 balls to see the match through to a draw with the last
man at the crease. Hartlepool 9 points Great Ayton 13 pts
