Twin centuries in Wanneroo batting bonanza

Ted HusseyWanneroo Times

After losing an early wicket, Rob Richards and John Rogers set about mounting an enthralling partnership, which accumulated 213 runs, eclipsing the previous second-wicket record of 171 between Craig King and Wesley Robinson in 2004-05.

Richards, who contributed 130 runs, showed all the class of a top-level batsman, while Rogers was cool and calm in making 96 and on this performance could expect a recall to the Warriors.

Not to be outdone, Christian Smith enjoyed his outing by posting a scintillating undefeated 104 to finish off the home side.

Wanneroo batted on after passing Midland-Guildford’s total to post a final score of 384 and lift itself into the competition top six.

Next Saturday, Wanneroo hosts University in a two-day match on Kingsway 1.

Second Grade went down by seven runs at Kingsway, while Third Grade (206) was well beaten by Midland-Guildford (9-270).

Fourth Grade, with a score of 191, was thrilled with the bowling performance of Braden Quinn, who cleaned up with 7-11 to restrict Midland-Guildford to just 78.

Quinn’s performance surpassed that of Rob Taylor, who took 6-29 against Midland-Guildford in 1989-90.

It was also a fourth-grade record, passing Laurie Smith’s performance of 7-25 in 1983-84.
