Crusaders dominate day 1 against Authentics

Wednesday 23 June 2010

This year's Cambridge University Crusaders Varsity XI will take a commanding position on the beginning of day 2 as they dismissed the Oxford University Authentics for just 76 at Fenner's.

After the 'Tics won the toss it was all Cambridge for the first two sessions as the Crusers bowlers made the ball swing prodigiously. Thomas Probert was the pick of the seamers, picking up 4 wickets.

In reply the Crusaders ended the day at around 200-4, with Ananya Sen top scoring with 53 before being adjudged lbw off the bowling of Chris Stearn, in this his second decade of Varsity Cricket.
