Cricket: Five wicket haul puts Claremont-Nedlands in dominant position against University

Denise S. CahillWestern Suburbs Weekly

A FIVE wicket haul from all-rounder Tim David led Claremont-Nedlands to a dominant position in its fixture against University during round five of Premier Cricket at James Oval.

The University batsmen were in disarray against the medium pacer, as David reduced the hosts to 168 all out.

It could have been worse for the students as they slumped to 9-114, before Englishman Harry Podmore smashed 63 not out from 71 balls to add some respectability to the total.
