Caddick
shakes off England hangover
LONDON, May 25 (AFP) - Andy Caddick brushed off an unimpressive performance in England's first Test draw with Sri Lanka and claimed five wickets on his return to County Championship cricket as Somerset took charge against Surrey at The Oval on Friday. Caddick took five for 66 as the visitors seized the initiative in the battle between the only two unbeaten sides in the First Division. Ian Ward was the only home batsman to put up much resistance hitting 62 as his side were bowled out for 220 on a rain-curtailed day and Somerset were 10 without loss at the close. Surrey got off to the worst of starts when England batsman Mark Butcher walked after the third ball of the day and out of favour England hitman Mark Ramprakash to the eighth. Champions Yorkshire, still looking for their first win of the season, had another difficult day in the field at Headingley against Hampshire as John Crawley's rich vein of form continued. Crawley, who was recalled to the England side because of his bright start to the season, struck 79 and Will Kendall 67 in a 145-run second-wicket partnership that saw Robin Smith's side get off to a flying start. Smith himself weighed in with 41 but the day was far from a disaster for Yorkshire as they pegged the score back to 273 for seven at the close. Matthew Hoggard, another England seamer looking for a lift ahead of next week's Edgbaston Test, claimed three for 61. Leicestershire captain Vince Wells ended the day unbeaten on 85 as his side posted 257 for seven against Sussex. Opener Trevor Ward got the innings off to a solid start once the rain relented with 48 before he became one of in-form Robin Martin-Jenkins' four victims. |
