"This was the moment for me that I realised we had made a change. You go back four days and these kids didn’t speak to each other, hardly made contact with us as coaches. It was a very quiet first day compared to now with all the smiling, laughing and being young leaders together."
Surrey aiming for Semi-Final in BACD
Jun 20, 2010
On a beautiful June day (20th) at the Cricket Centre, Plough Lane in Wallington, an exhibition of sensible and clinical batting saw Surrey easily dispose of Devon.
Surrey were asked to bat first but Devon started well with 2 wickets falling in the first 10 overs - Green and Stenning the ones falling cheaply. Then entered, Lodge and Fraser, who with gusto and guile stroked the ball to all parts and so set up a tremendous 186 run partnership (which could well be a BACD record).
But Fraser fell to a beautiful delivery when on 76 which left Lodge to carry his bat through the innings with an immense, 157 not out.
Surrey were urged not to rest on their laurels when Devon went into bat. There was a wicket a piece for Gale and Young early on which meant that it was then the spin twins of, Green and Kenward, who took 2 wickets a piece as Devon batted courageously for their 60 all out.
Surrey won by 245 runs but full credit to Devon who are in their maiden season in the BACD and with their wonderful attitude will look to build on that for next season.
Surrey now move on to Essex knowing that a win will ensure them of a Semi Final berth if other results go their way.
