by
openers Pete Boston and skipper John Dunlea, before
both perished with just 22 runs on the board after
7 overs. There followed a middle-order recovery led
by Dave Birch (27) and Shaun Green (22) as Easton
reached a total of 109 for 7 on a batting-friendly
artificial wicket. Kev Bowen, the pick of the Waltham
bowlers, picked up 4 for 29 and Dunlea claimed 3 catches
as the innings drew to a close.
In
response, Waltham openers Simon Jones and Richie Hughes
compiled a very impressive opening stand of 92 in
13 overs. Jones carried his bat through the innings
for 42 not out, whilst Adam Wymbs' 10 not out help
guide Waltham home with an over to spare. Hughes,
celebrating his first half-century for the club, smashed
3 huge sixes and 3 fours en route to his 52. With
Shaun Green in particular suffering at the hands of
Hughes, Butcher and D Green were the pick of the Easton
bowlers but couldn't find the breakthroughs they needed
as Waltham coasted home.
Waltham
play IBM Hursley on Tuesday 25 May in the next round.
