Derwin's six appeal


27/ 8/2008

Cheadle Hulme 198-6, Poynton 204-7 (Poynton won by three wickets) - DERWIN Thompson finished this game in spectacular style when his side needed him.

With Poynton needing 19 from the last over, Thompson duly hit the first four balls for six to take Poynton over the finishing line.

This completed his innings of 66 not out in 56 deliveries. Without a significant knock under his belt so far this year, Thompson rolled back the years to produce something akin to his early Poynton performances.

For the first time in recent memory Poynton had gone 41 overs earlier in the day without taking a wicket, as Cheadle Hulme openers Adam Wilde (77) and Jordan Potts (46) added 133.

Despite a quickfire 33 not out from Max Driscoll, Poynton recovered well in the closing overs, with part-time bowler Damian Stringer bagging five wickets.

Ewan McCray (three for 46 in 18 overs) caused his usual problems for Poynton in reply and, despite 66 from Brian Kingham, Poynton were always slightly behind where they would have wished to be in their chase.

When 82 runs were needed from the final 10 overs, a number of pinch-hitters came and went without success.

But things finally clicked when Simon Dunn hit some important boundaries off McCray, before Thompson’s final flourish ended the contest.
