Charlesworth Century Leads Gloucestershire Fightback Against Leicestershire

Charlesworth Century Leads Gloucestershire Fightback Against Leicestershire

By August 23, 2024 0

Gloucestershire’s Ben Charlesworth produced a magnificent century to lead a spirited fightback against Leicestershire on the second day of their Vitality County Championship Second Division clash at Bristol.

Charlesworth, 23, notched his second first-class ton off 164 balls, adorned with 14 fours and three sixes, as Gloucestershire reached 227 for 3 by the time bad light ended play seven overs early. James Bracey remained unbeaten on 34.

Leicestershire had earlier posted 402 all out, with Liam Trevaskis (50) and Tom Scriven (60) contributing valuable runs. Zaman Akhter claimed 3 for 110 for Gloucestershire.

Despite the blustery conditions, Charlesworth and Cameron Bancroft put together a solid opening stand of 50. Bancroft departed for 39, but Charlesworth continued to impress, reaching his half-century off 96 deliveries.

Ollie Price joined Charlesworth and made a brief contribution of six before edging to wicketkeeper Peter Handscomb. However, Charlesworth and Hammond put on a 65-run partnership, with Hammond showcasing some flamboyant shots.

Green provided a crucial breakthrough, trapping Hammond lbw for 29. Charlesworth survived a scare on 77 but soon reached his century with two towering sixes off Trevaskis.

Bracey provided steady support, but with rain looming, it remains to be seen if either team can force a decisive result on a pitch that has favored the batters.

Holland Century Guides Leicestershire to Respectable Total on Day One

Holland Century Guides Leicestershire to Respectable Total on Day One

By August 22, 2024 0

Leicestershire’s Ian Holland notched up his fifth first-class century, guiding the team to a respectable 291 for 7 on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship Second Division clash against Gloucestershire at Bristol.

Holland, 33, played a pivotal role, scoring 104 off 173 deliveries, including 15 boundaries and a six. He received valuable support from Rehan Ahmed (60) and Rishi Patel (47) as Leicestershire capitalized on the 67 overs they had after losing the toss.

Despite a green pitch, Gloucestershire’s five-man seam attack, led by Marchant de Lange (2 for 58) and Zaman Akhter (2 for 86), failed to make significant inroads due to its slow nature.

The match faced interruptions due to a wet outfield, with play commencing at 11.30 am and an early lunch being enforced after just 3.1 overs. A 1.30 pm restart saw 18 overs lost.

Holland and Patel displayed confidence against the new ball, with Holland surviving an edge off Ajeet Singh Dale and Patel escaping a nick off Akhter. Patel’s innings was cut short when he edged de Lange to wicketkeeper James Bracey.

Lewis Hill’s dismissal at 77 for two was followed by a missed chance by Gloucestershire, with Ajinkya Rahane benefiting from a dropped catch between Bracey and first slip. However, Rahane’s luck ran out soon after, gloving a delivery from Dom Goodman to Cameron Bancroft at second slip.

Holland reached his half-century off 100 balls, driving a wide half-volley from de Lange for four. Leicestershire were well-placed at tea, with 139 for three from 36 overs.

Holland continued his positive approach after the break, uppercutting de Lange for six. Peter Handscomb’s hopes of success against his former county were dashed when he was trapped lbw by Ben Charlesworth for five.

Holland’s innings featured some impressive shots, including a boundary through extra cover off Akhter and another through point in the same over. Rehan joined the party, hitting a six and a four off Akhter to take Leicestershire past 200.

Holland reached his century with a square cut boundary off Singh Dale, while Rehan reached his fifty with a straight six off Ollie Price. However, Holland’s attempt at another uppercut off Singh Dale resulted in his dismissal, caught at deep backward point.

Rehan’s entertaining innings ended when he edged Akhter to Bancroft at second slip. Harry Kimber’s dismissal to de Lange gave Gloucestershire a strong finish to the day.

With four more overs lost to bad light, Leicestershire ended the day on 291 for 7, with 29 overs lost in total.

Leicestershire Foxes Triumph Over Gloucestershire in One Day Cup Thriller

Leicestershire Foxes Triumph Over Gloucestershire in One Day Cup Thriller

By August 15, 2024 0

Leicestershire Foxes secured a thrilling four-wicket victory over Gloucestershire in the Metro Bank One Day Cup, booking their place in the quarter-finals. Chasing a revised target of 196 in a rain-affected match, the Foxes rode on a match-winning partnership of 120 between Ajinkya Rahane and Peter Handscomb.

Rahane, who has been in impressive form this season, scored a composed 62 off 76 balls, while Handscomb remained unbeaten on 65 from 70 deliveries. The Australian all-rounder hit five fours and two sixes, showcasing his class and experience.

Leicestershire’s victory was set up by a disciplined bowling performance. Tom Scriven led the way with 3 for 37, while Liam Trevaskis and Alex Green claimed two wickets each. Gloucestershire struggled to build partnerships, with Cameron Bancroft’s 36 being the highest individual score.

Gloucestershire’s bowlers made an early impact, reducing Leicestershire to 19 for 3. However, Rahane and Handscomb steadied the ship, gradually building their partnership and putting pressure on the home side.

Rahane reached his half-century first, while Handscomb followed suit shortly after. The pair punished loose deliveries and took advantage of Gloucestershire’s lack of seam options.

Rahane’s innings came to an end when he was caught at short extra cover off the bowling of Ben Smith. However, Louis Kimber’s quickfire 28, including three sixes and a four, ensured that Leicestershire remained in control.

With 14 balls to spare, Handscomb hit the winning runs, securing a memorable victory for the Foxes. They will now host Hampshire in the quarter-finals at Grace Road on Friday.

Gloucestershire Chase Down 333 to Keep Quarter-Final Hopes Alive

Gloucestershire Chase Down 333 to Keep Quarter-Final Hopes Alive

By August 9, 2024 0

Gloucestershire’s relentless pursuit of a quarter-final berth in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup received a significant boost as they chased down a formidable 333-run target set by Nottinghamshire Outlaws at Trent Bridge. Miles Hammond’s scintillating 157, studded with 22 fours and five sixes, proved to be the cornerstone of Gloucestershire’s emphatic seven-wicket victory.

Nottinghamshire’s innings got off to a blistering start, with skipper Haseeb Hameed and Lyndon James forging a 129-run opening partnership. Hameed, who notched up his second century of the competition, shared a further 80-run stand with Tom Moores. However, Gloucestershire’s bowlers, led by Graeme van Buuren’s three-wicket haul, managed to restrict the Outlaws to 332 in 49.3 overs.

In response, Gloucestershire openers Hammond and Cameron Bancroft laid the foundation for the chase with a 151-run partnership. Hammond, in particular, was in imperious form, reaching his century off just 81 deliveries. Despite losing Bancroft to Freddie McCann’s leg-before, Hammond continued to torment the Nottinghamshire bowlers, adding two more sixes to his tally before being dismissed for 157.

Ollie Price’s unbeaten 61, along with Ben Charlesworth’s contribution, ensured that Gloucestershire cruised to victory with 20 balls to spare. The win propelled Gloucestershire into third place in Group B, ahead of holders Leicestershire.

However, Gloucestershire’s joy was tempered by the news that England Lions call-ups for Price, Zaman Akhter, and Ajeet Singh Dale would rule them out of the final group round and the quarter-final, should they qualify.

The Outlaws, despite their defeat, remain mathematically in contention for a knock-out spot. However, they would need to win both their remaining matches to have a chance of progressing.

Gloucestershire Crush Sussex with Dominant Bowling Performance

Gloucestershire Crush Sussex with Dominant Bowling Performance

By August 7, 2024 0

Gloucestershire’s bowlers, led by Ajeet Singh Dale’s career-best performance, propelled the team to a dominant eight-wicket victory over Sussex Sharks in the Metro Bank One Day Cup.

Dale, a 24-year-old pace bowler, unleashed a blistering spell of 4 for 15 in nine overs, dismantling Sussex’s batting lineup. Fellow seamer Zaman Akhter complemented Dale’s efforts with figures of 3 for 25, his best in List-A cricket.

Sussex, batting first, struggled to cope with the Gloucestershire bowlers’ accuracy and pace. Henry Rogers and Tom Clark fell cheaply, while Charlie Tear’s brief resistance ended when he was caught by Cameron Bancroft. Oli Carter and Zach Lion-Cachet attempted to rebuild the innings, but Akhter’s incisive bowling accounted for both batsmen.

Graeme van Buuren and Bertie Foreman departed after the rain break, leaving Sussex reeling at 94 for 6. Ibrahim’s 30 provided some resistance, but Akhter and Dale continued to strike, reducing the visitors to 106 for 8. Archie Lenham’s 24 helped Sussex reach 132 for 9, a modest total given the conditions.

In response, Gloucestershire’s openers, Hammond and Bancroft, made light work of the chase. Hammond smashed three sixes in three balls off Jack Campbell, while Bancroft played a composed innings of 49 not out. Hammond’s dismissal for 46 did not slow Gloucestershire’s progress, as Bancroft and Ollie Price guided the team to victory with 21 overs to spare.

The win keeps Gloucestershire’s hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages alive, while Sussex remain bottom of the table after their sixth consecutive defeat.

Barnard's All-Round Brilliance Powers Warwickshire to Five-Match Winning Streak

Barnard’s All-Round Brilliance Powers Warwickshire to Five-Match Winning Streak

By August 4, 2024 0

Warwickshire’s Ed Barnard starred with both bat and ball as they extended their winning streak in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup to five matches with a six-wicket victory over Gloucestershire at Bristol’s Seat Unique Stadium.

Barnard’s all-round brilliance was on full display as he claimed 3 for 16 to restrict Gloucestershire to 267 in 49.4 overs. The in-form allrounder then anchored Warwickshire’s chase with a match-winning knock of 152 not out from 134 balls.

Barnard’s early wickets put Gloucestershire on the back foot, but Jack Taylor’s unbeaten 139 kept them in the game. Taylor shared crucial partnerships with Ben Charlesworth and Graeme van Buuren to rescue Gloucestershire from a precarious 43 for 4.

However, Barnard’s irrepressible bowling and Tazeem Ali’s career-best figures of 3 for 55 kept Gloucestershire in check. Warwickshire’s spinners, including Ali, Jake Lintott, and Rob Yates, played a significant role in restricting the home side’s scoring rate.

In response, Warwickshire lost early wickets but Barnard and Hamza Shaikh steadied the ship with a 79-run stand. Shaikh’s departure brought Chris Benjamin to the crease, and the duo added a crucial 135 runs for the fifth wicket.

Benjamin’s unbeaten 45 and Barnard’s unwavering concentration saw Warwickshire chase down the target with 2.1 overs to spare. Barnard’s second century in five innings broke Gloucestershire’s resolve and secured a comfortable victory for the visitors.

With this win, Warwickshire remains joint-leaders of Group B alongside Glamorgan. They can virtually guarantee a quarter-final berth by defeating Glamorgan at Edgbaston on Thursday. Gloucestershire, on the other hand, faces an uphill battle to qualify for the knockout stages and will need to beat Sussex in their next game to keep their hopes alive.

Gloucestershire Triumph Over Yorkshire in Thrilling York Encounter

By August 2, 2024 0

Gloucestershire’s Ollie Price and Matt Taylor led their team to a thrilling 36-run victory over Yorkshire at York, successfully defending a target of 252.

Price anchored Gloucestershire’s innings with a watchful 98 off 118 balls, while Miles Hammond contributed 54. However, the visitors struggled in the final 15 overs, losing seven wickets for just 85 runs.

Yorkshire’s response on a challenging pitch was led by Shan Masood (76) and James Wharton (56), who put on a 113-run partnership for the third wicket. However, the Vikings collapsed from 137 for 2 to 215 all out within 48 overs.

Left-arm quick Matt Taylor was the star of the show for Gloucestershire, claiming 3 for 35 off 10 overs. Ben Coad (2 for 27) and Ajeet Singh Dale (2 for 36) also chipped in with crucial wickets.

Gloucestershire’s innings began cautiously, with Cameron Bancroft dismissed early. Price and Hammond then steadied the ship, rotating the strike and capitalizing on the extra bounce in the pitch. Price’s sweeping and reverse-sweeping against spin was particularly effective.

However, Gloucestershire’s momentum was halted by a flurry of wickets in the middle overs. Ben Cliff struck twice in the 36th over, while Coad and Moriarty also picked up wickets. Tom Smith’s 27 helped Gloucestershire reach a respectable total.

Yorkshire’s reply started poorly, with Fin Bean and Will Luxton dismissed cheaply. Masood and Wharton rebuilt the innings, but their partnership was broken by Matt Taylor. Harry Duke and Wharton fell in quick succession, leaving Yorkshire in trouble.

Dom Bess and Matthew Revis offered some resistance, but Gloucestershire’s bowlers maintained their discipline and eventually secured the victory.

Bancroft’s 100 from 109 deliveries laid the foundation for Gloucestershire’s imposing total of 301. Miles Hammond contributed a brisk 51, while skipper Jack Taylor’s explosive 44, featuring five sixes, provided late impetus.

Gloucestershire’s bowlers maintained consistent pressure throughout Surrey’s innings. Matt Taylor’s 4-44 and Ajeet Singh Dale’s 2-49 proved crucial in restricting the hosts.

Surrey’s top order struggled against Taylor’s new ball burst, with Dom Sibley and Ben Geddes dismissed cheaply. Patel and Ben Foakes rallied with an 89-run partnership, but Singh Dale and Taylor broke the stand.

Blake and McKerr threatened with an 85-run seventh-wicket partnership, but Taylor’s sharp lifter ended McKerr’s resistance. Singh Dale then removed Foakes and Patel, leaving Surrey on the brink of defeat.

Blake and McKerr’s late resistance delayed Gloucestershire’s victory, but Dom Goodman’s dismissal of Blake sealed the deal.

Bancroft’s century anchored Gloucestershire’s innings, while Hammond’s half-century provided early momentum. Taylor’s late cameo gave the visitors a significant boost.

Essex Crush Gloucestershire in Metro Bank One Day Cup

By July 28, 2024 0

Essex emerged victorious in a one-sided Metro Bank One Day Cup encounter at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol, defeating Gloucestershire by 63 runs. Shane Snater’s incisive bowling played a pivotal role in Essex’s triumph.

Chasing a target of 263, Gloucestershire’s top order crumbled under Snater’s devastating new-ball burst. The seamer claimed three wickets in 13 deliveries, reducing the hosts to 28 for 3. Five top or middle-order batsmen fell in single figures, with Snater finishing with figures of 3 for 39 and Jamal Richards contributing 2 for 33.

Ajeet Singh Dale provided a glimmer of hope for Gloucestershire with a defiant 25-ball half-century, but his efforts were in vain as the home side was dismissed for 199 in 36.2 overs. Tom Smith also contributed 29 not out, but their late resistance came too late to salvage the match.

Earlier, Essex had posted a competitive 262 for 8, thanks to half-centuries from Luc Benkenstein and Robin Das. The duo shared an 88-run partnership to rescue Essex from a precarious 86 for 4. Das scored 52 from 71 deliveries, while Benkenstein raised a career-best 67 from 62 balls.

Glamorgan Snatch Thrilling Derby Win Over Gloucestershire in One Day Cup

Glamorgan Snatch Thrilling Derby Win Over Gloucestershire in One Day Cup

By July 26, 2024 0

Glamorgan’s nail-biting 27-run victory over Gloucestershire in the Metro Bank One Day Cup was a testament to the resilience and determination of the Welsh county. Despite a shaky start, Glamorgan rallied behind a brilliant half-century from Ben Kellaway and a superb bowling performance from Dan Douthwaite to secure their first win of the tournament.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Glamorgan found themselves in early trouble as Gloucestershire’s bowlers exploited the seam movement on offer. Openers Josh Shaw and Ajeet Singh Dale made the most of the conditions, dismissing Will Smale and Eddie Byrom cheaply. However, a 49-run partnership between Kiran Carlson and Billy Root provided some stability before both batsmen fell in quick succession.

With Glamorgan reeling at 99 for 5, it was left to Kellaway and debutant Asa Tribe to rebuild the innings. Kellaway played a crucial role, hitting a composed 65 not out to guide his team to a respectable total of 187 for 8. His partnerships with Tribe, Douthwaite, and Timm van der Gugten were vital in ensuring Glamorgan batted the full allocation of overs.

Gloucestershire’s chase began in a similar fashion to Glamorgan’s innings, with Van der Gugten and Jamie McIlroy claiming early wickets. However, James Bracey’s brilliance kept the visitors in the contest. The former England keeper played a lone hand, scoring a magnificent 86 off 79 balls.

With Gloucestershire needing just 31 runs from the final six overs, the match seemed to be slipping away from Glamorgan. However, Douthwaite and Andy Gorvin combined to trigger a dramatic collapse. Douthwaite dismissed Bracey for 86, while Gorvin claimed three wickets in quick succession. Gloucestershire were eventually bowled out for 160, handing Glamorgan a thrilling victory.

Douthwaite’s four-wicket haul and Gorvin’s three-wicket burst were crucial in securing the win for Glamorgan. Kellaway’s half-century and the contributions of Tribe, Douthwaite, and Van der Gugten were also instrumental in the victory.
