Wayne Madsen marked another career milestone with a century as Derbyshire Falcons thrashed Sussex Sharks by 188 runs in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup Group B match at The OurCoop County Ground.<\/p>\n
On his 100th List A game for Derbyshire, the 42-year-old scored an unbeaten 104 off 96 balls to take the hosts to 325 for 7 with Ross Whiteley plundering 33 from 18..<\/p>\n
Henry Crocombe took 3 for 44 and 18 year-old pace bowler Freddie Price impressed with his best one-day figures of 2 for 47 but Sussex fell well short with the bat.<\/p>\n
Spinner Jack Morley ripped through them, claiming his\u00a0 List A best figures of 5 for 28 as the Sharks subsided tamely to 137 in under 32 overs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Falcons had got off to a flyer, passing 50 in the sixth over before Crocombe restored some order by having Martin Andersson caught behind for 39 from 24 balls.<\/p>\n
A superb leaping catch by George Thomas at point removed Caleb Jewell and Harry Came\u2019s innings was ended by a smart piece of work from Charlie Tear.<\/p>\n
Came had dispatched Jack Carson for the first six in the 21st over but in the next, he stepped out of his crease and was stumped.<\/p>\n
The Sharks had exerted a measure of control with the Falcons 146 for 3 after 25 overs but Madsen and Matthew Montgomery raised the tempo by adding 82 off 87 balls.<\/p>\n
Ollie Robinson broke the stand when Montgomery skied a pull to deep midwicket but Madsen showed his experience, combining improvisation with astute placement.<\/p>\n
After Brooke Guest drove to cover, Whiteley launched into Troy Henry\u2019s spin, hitting him for four sixes and a four with 30 coming from the 45th over.<\/p>\n
Whiteley missed a big swing at Crocombe who had Anuj Dal caught off a leading edge but Madsen completed his seventh List A hundred for Derbyshire in the final over.<\/p>\n
A depleted Sharks team faced a testing target and they started badly, losing Thomas lbw to Nick Potts in the second over.<\/p>\n
Potts struck again in the 10th over when Tear drove to cover and two wickets in Morley\u2019s first over left the Sharks floundering.<\/p>\n
Joe Johnson fell to a good running catch by Potts at deep midwicket before Dan Ibrahim pulled low to mid on, 48 for 4.<\/p>\n
Morley claimed another when Jack Carson pulled to midwicket and he celebrated a fourth when Robinson missed a sweep.<\/p>\n
Jack Leaning hit Andersson for three fours but then chipped back a return catch as the Falcons romped to back to back victories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wayne Madsen marked another career milestone with a century as Derbyshire Falcons thrashed Sussex Sharks by 188 runs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":725414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-725413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725413","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=725413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
