In reply, Penzance opener Jack Paull was forced to retire at the end of the second over on 7 not out, but his replacement Wadlan provided a useful accompaniment to the big hitting Purchase.<\/p>\n
The Cornish opener – who had scored centuries in three prior rounds of the competition – made 47 off as many balls before being caught in the deep by Lavelle having his three sixes and four fours. <\/p>\n
Ormskirk claimed the wickets of Charlie Sharland and Nicholas Halstead-Cleak in the space of two overs to leave Penzance on 101-3 off 16.4 overs.<\/p>\n
But Penzance’s woes continued as bowlers Holden and Jamie Barnes continued to torment them as they lost three more wickets for just 19 runs – Grant Stone went for 6, Josh Croom was bowled without scoring and Paull – who had returned with a runner – went for 7 to leave the Cornish side on 120-6 with 17 overs left. <\/p>\n
When Wadlan became Barnes’ third victim an over later after scoring 35 off 52 balls, Ormskirk knew the game was in their hands. <\/p>\n
Tommy Sturgess made a quickfire 15 before being caught in the 28th over to leave his side on 143-8.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Ludlam (17) and Dinnis (17 not out) both helped Penzance’s tail provide some resistance – but when Sanwal was bowled out for 10 by Holden for his fifth wicket – the game was over. <\/p>\n
“I’m proud as punch after a long year to get this far,” Sturgess told BBC Radio Cornwall after the loss.<\/p>\n
“It’s a bit of a kick in the guts to be honest – we gave ourselves every opportunity to win that and just unfortunately the better team probably came out on top.<\/p>\n
“We never lost belief, we know that we can go right the way down the order – I think those middle overs we lost a cluster of wickets – fair play to them, they probably out-bowled us and got more from the surface.<\/p>\n
“It was the middle period of the game that we probably lost too many wickets.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In reply, Penzance opener Jack Paull was forced to retire at the end of the second over on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150029,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-150028","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
