Hunts and Cambs fought out a thrilling tie in the National Over 50s competition at Wisbech (July 27).
England player Nick Andrews needed to hit a four from the final ball of the match to get Hunts past Cambs’ 45-over total of 236-8, but he could ‘only’ manage a three. Andrews finished unbeaten on 49 to add to two wickets he claimed with his off-spin.
A second-wicket stand of 154 between Gary Scotcher (87) of Nassington and Hampton’s Ian Winters (56) had set Hunts on their way in style.
