Stenning and Green shine as Surrey reach Semi Finals
Jul 11, 2010
Surrey disposed of the Isle of Wight by 176 runs to ensure that they reached the BACD Championship Semi Finals for the first time in their history. The the team itself did a fantastic job but two special achievements made the game even more memorable.
Surrey, having won the toss and deciding to bat, Green and Lodge went about business as usual with great flair and gusto but both were unlucky not to develop on their fine starts before Lee Stenning took over.
Stenning, compiled an immaculate 126 not out including one huge six over the railway end of Plough Lane and with Akmal and Fraser adding tidy 30's themselves, the Isle of Wight looked somewhat daunted and exhausted by the 276 for 5 amassed by the Surrey side.
As predicted, it didn’t get much better for the Islander's who batted valiantly amid some beautiful bowling by Gale and Young but once again, the spin twins of Kenward and Green shared 7 wickets with 6 of those going for less than 11 runs.
Kenward bowled well with 3 for 21 and Green bowled 3 gorgeous deliveries to pocket himself a hat trick and immediate bundle. His 4 for 6 off 3 however couldn’t take the man of the match award of captain Stenning who lead from the front all day.
Many Thanks to the Isle Of Wight team who were an absolute credit to themselves and to the BACD Championship and Surrey will relish their semi-final match in August, probably against Cheshire.
