T20 ROUND-UP: A '˜mere' six sixes for Morgan, Castor cruise, Peterborough Town back in Jaidka action
After restricting Nassington to 110-8 in their 20 overs at the Abbey Lawns, in-form Twenty/20 specialist Pete Morgan launched another brutal assault with his bat.
Just 24 hours after smashing 11 sixes (including six in one over) against Uffington in a Stamford Charity Cup match, Morgan hammered six maximums in a 35-ball innings of 67 before he was clean bowled by Will Dyer.
