Story Derbyshires County Season [C2005]

[rabbitoh rob]

Worcestershire all out

Derbyshire require 17runs to win

A brilliant bowling spell here by gifted left arm finger spinner Steve Moore has left the Worcestershire innings in a crumbled heap, as Derbyshire look set to claim victory in there first game of the season. The only player to show any resistance to the Derbyshire attack was V.Solanki who fell to the superstar Moore anyway. We have Mike Atherton downstair talking with the man of the moment Steve Moore.

Mike Atherton:- Well first off congradulations on a splendid bowling performance Stevie.

Steve Moore:- Cheers mate, i think i had a bit of luck.

MA:- Jeez your a modest lad Stevie. What was running through your mind out there?

SM:- Well i was gett'n the ball to skid though a little late yesterday afternoon when i picked up Hickie and his mate, so i thought if u get a chance today i ll just try an bowler a few over spinners and the try and get the odd one to hit the rough patch and hope that it hold up on the batsmen a bit.........and well it seemed to work a treat and i was lucky.

MA:- I d hardly call it luck son, that was sheer class, i remember saying to Paris (Derbyshire physio) you'd think the lad was bowling hand grenades!!!

SM:- I dont know about hand grenades i just was lucky enough to land a few in the right spot.

MA:- Well you certainly did your self proud Stevie go enjoy a quite ale while the batsmen chase a poultry 17 runs.

SM: Thanks Mike.

Surely you can't be allowed to vote for yourself

Well I firmly believe that my 4 wickets in the first innings and 1 wicket in the second innings were firmly responsible for us winning
