Richard takes four with first four balls!

In a friendly at home to Flitwick III Dutton was thrown the ball with the visitors ticking along on 62-3.

Just four balls later, in amazing scenes, Flitwick were 62-7. Shoaib Rashid was first to go, clean bowled, while Dave Sarney, Ross Sample and Jonathan Dove caught the next three Flitwick batsmen who all returned to the pavilion with golden ducks.

A stunned Flitwick managed to rally to 110 all out. However it wouldn’t prove to be enough, as Dominic Mawdsley (25) and Dove (36) led the reply to the target with six wickets in hand.

Old Warden won the game by six wickets.
