Contract Disputes Resolived - Cricket to Resume
Breaking news from Lords where the FCC forum has announced that the pay dispute which has long halted the professional game in the UK has now been resolved and the season can now continue where it left off.
The Web Drew with Notts
The Web's first match back was a hard fought draw at home to Nottinghamshire. Very Dissapointed not to complete the win after dominating the match but Notts hung on on the last evening. Full batting points were secured (just) thanks to Mork's 158 and 50's from Nichani and Gray. Then Chapman took 6-88 but Notts managed to get to 312 to leave a lead of only 88. With time running out wickets were sacrificed in the second innings, the total of 165 all out coming from 28.2 overs. Halsey's 38 from 26 the main contribution. That meant just 60 overs to bowl Notts out, but it very nearly happened. The outlaws obviously scented a win, needing 254, but from 148-2, they collapsed to 208-8, whereupon they decided to play for the draw and Randall's 9 from 31 secured it. Halsey picked up 5-63, but Mork secured the MOM.
