Hewitt put in his best attempt at the Man of the Match award as Auckland dealt with ND. Auckland end the OD season with a winning record as a result, an acceptable result given the players at the disposal of Liam Camps this season.
Ultimately Smith won the MoM honours with a solid 83 off 127 balls in his final innings before his WCC retirement. ND were knocked over for just 113 in their chase with Hewitt exploiting some moisture in the air to take 7/30 off 7 overs.
Earlier in the day, Simon DeJong smashed an unbeaten 88 off just 65 balls (including 4 sixes) and Howarth hit 37 to help Auckland to the very satisfactory 264/5.
Match summary:
Auckland 264/5
(S.DeJong 88*, N.Smith 83, A.Blignaut 2/44)
Northern Districts 113 all out (30 overs)
(M.Vaughan 33, S.Afridi 31, J.Hewitt 7/30, M.Nagamootoo 2/34)
MoM: N. Smith

Warwickshires OD season came to a sad ending getting hammered by Karnataka.
Fourth place means division three cricket again next season. We are looking foward to some big show downs with Tamil Nadu and unless Surrey get a miracle of some sorts, we'll get to play them too. Oh how exciting

ACT win 1 day title
The ACT Comets wrapped up the division 5 double in their debut season in WCC away at Karachi. Although it would have taken a miracle for Free state to take the title before the weekend, their was a mathematical chance, still the Comets went into the match with an experimental line up.
Karachi Batted first on a "suspect" pitch, and made a decent start. Although runs were hard to come by, they got to a solid 2-82 before everything fell apart. Wickets galore saw the Pakistanis all out for a poor 134. Javed (52) was the pick of the batsmen. He had good support from Stevens (34), but neither could go on with it.
The best bowlers for the Comets were Simon Mann 4/17, Michael Dawn 2/7 and Matt Ramage 2/28.
ACT cruised to victory with the loss of only 1 wicket. That of Captain and star batsman Michael Dawn who passed fifty for the seventh time in nine innings in the 1d game. He made a brilliant 86 from 79 balls. Mark Hatton playing only his 3rd 1d game of the season made 48 not out, with Mark Higgs making his first appearance in either form for the Comets faced just 1 ball and hit the winnings runs with a boundary.
Pollock took the wicket for Karachi.
ACT wrapped up the title with a comprehensive win by 9 wickets. Comets player of the year points went to 3 Dawn 2 Mann 1 Hatton.
ACT 1/138 (Dawn 86, Hatton 48*, Pollock 1-30) defeated
Karachi 134 (Javed 52, Stevens 34, Mann 4-17)

Leics claim Div 4 1 day Champs!!
Leics came out to play hoping to secure second spot with a big win over Somerset. After winning the toss, Captain Ponting chose to bat first.
Things looked bad at the start with Lumb going cheaply, the score 1-9. Samaraweera and Kabir looked to be building a partnership, however Samaraweera fell with the score at 2-49 and Ponting came to the crease, then, 9 runs later, disaster would strike. A brilliant bowling display from Bulbeck saw him get a HAT-TRICK with his Victims being Kabir, Ogden, and Deitz. All of a sudden Leics are 5-58. Wright came in and played well (34), supporting Ponting, before becoming Bulbeck's fifth Victim, however he had steadied the ship, Leics now 6-134. Wells came and went, a valuable 18 considering the scope of things so far, in a 60 run partnership with Ponting who was rampaging at the other end, having passed his 50. Leics now 7-194. Things were looking respectable at this stage.
Then in comes Darren Maddy at number 9.
Somerset were truly not prepared for the length of Leics batting order. Maddy smashed his way to an unbeaten 50 off just 37 balls, as Ponting continues his merry way, scoring an unbeaten 114 off 108 balls, Leics ending their innings at 7-269, an amazing score considering at one stage they were 5-58.
Leics manager David breathed a huge sigh of relief after fearing at one stage the game was over and their promotion chances dead in the water.
On came Somerset, could they pull off a miracle win to crush Leics?
The only time they looked in it was a fighting partnership between Z Thomas and P Bowler, however, when the partnership was cracked at 2-65, Somerset quickly lost wickets handing Leics a good solid victory, Somerset all out for 109. Maddy doing the damage with the ball with 4-16.
MOM deservedly goes to Darren Maddy with an unbeaten 50 at number 9 and great bowling returns of 4-16.
With this big win Leics felt confident they could claim second place.
They were wrong, with Canterbury smashing Leics arch rivals Tassie, it left all three teams on equal footing, 7 wins a piece, Leics, amazingly, finishing in First place and Season Leader Tassie falling back to third, much to manager Richard Langley's chagrin.
The celebrations at Leics will be going on for a while

Inconsistant Somerset Struck Down by Table-Topping Leics
Leicestershire today won a well deserved first position in the division four One-day championship as they rolled over the top of a topsy-turvy Somerset.
Somerset, who had already secured a fifth place in the One-day divison, were looking to gain some pride going into the next season. But it was not to be. Ricky Ponting and Darren Maddy were intrumental as Leicestershire rode home to victory by 160 runs.
The day began as the two captains strode out to the middle, staring into what looked to be a rather even pitch. Yet it was clear that Somerset had been looking for a bat. As soon as Leicestershire called correctly and batted, Jimmy Adams was looking quite frustrated. Adams had been looking to try and use his key and in-form bat, Z Thomas, a swing at the ball while he was fresh. Surprisingly though, Somerset did not take long to break through. With the score on nine, Wilson caught Lumb (6) on the crease fishing at a good length delivery. The result, Leicestershire one down having barely started and Somerset looking the goods. Samaraweera (18) was the next to go. Having played several ugly looking croos-batted shots, Samaraweera played one bad shot too much. Bulbeck brilliantly decieved his oppenent, with a lovely slower ball that caught Samaraweera driving on the up. This brought Ricky Ponting to the crease. He opened his account with a trademark pull to deep backward square leg off the bowling of Caddick. Caddick responded with a sharp bouncer that got him thinking.
In the next over, however, the unthinkable happened. Matt Bulbeck, who had already shown to be the sharpest of the Somerset bowlers so far, bowled a short, quickish delivery that Kabir (26) duly accepted by hitting the ball very hard and very high, straight up in the air. Although there was nearly a collision, Kalavitigoda got under it and Kabir was gone. The very next ball, Leicestershire were put in futher strife. Ogden (0) managed to walk infront of another slower ball by Bulbeck, allowing himself to be absolutely plumb. With the hat-trick ball fast approaching, Bulbeck turned around and looked up the crease. Facing him was Shane Deitz (0). It was now or never for Bulbeck. The plan was as par usual for Deitz. Early in his innings, he was inclined to flash away at deliveries on a good length outside off. Although he was tempted to try for a yorker, Bulbeck knew what he had to do. And he was right. The ball pitched just on a very good length, just outside off and, sure enough, Deitz had a swing at it. The ball barely clipped the edge of the bat as it passed through to the keeper. But the result was clear enough. Matt Bulbeck had taken a One-Day hat-trick.
From then on, however, Somerset let it slip. Leicestershire went from 5/58, to 6/134, to 7/194 until Leicestershire finally reached a grand total of 7/269. There were healthy contributions from Wright (34), Wells (18), and Maddy (50* off 37 balls), but the innings ressurector was Ricky Ponting. During his contribution of 114, Ponting hit the ball to all parts of the stadium. His total sum of boundaries amounted to 82. He faced a total of 108 balls and remained not out at the end of Leicestershire's innings.
For Somerset, the pick of the bowlers was clearly Bulbeck, who finished with five wickets including that amazing hat-trick. The only other bowler with any real effect who finished with figues of 10 overs for 42.
It was a depressed looking outfit that walke onto the ground to begin the chase of Leicestershire's total. After giving away such a grand start, surely Somerset could make up for their mistakes this time? Leicestershire had nearly as good a start as their counterparts. They had Jimmy Adams (7) gone with the score on 11. Adams was unforunate in his dismissal, as replays showed that Lumb had dropped the catch off the bowling off rejected Australian pace bowler Scott Muller. The next partnership was the high point of the Somerset batting effort. Pete Bowler (32) and Z Thomas (32) played some fantastic shots on their way to a 54 run combination for the second wicket. Bowler had only faced 17 balls when he succumbed to Muller as well. There were hopeful signs in the next partnership as well, and last rounds star bat Z Thomas looked like he may repeat the heroics of his previous efforts. Tragically, it was not to be. The Somerset superstar was brilliantly caught by Shane Deitz while hitting a very good shot. His demise triggered a collapse. Kulatunga (4), Bulbeck (3), Butcher (6) and Morris (1) all fell as the Leics ripped the heart out of the Somerset line up. Any hope of a Leicestershire-like comeback was erased as the last remainin hope, Kalavitigoda fell for 10. Somerset were eventually skittled for 109.
The Somerset team were in full praise of the Leics after the match.
"I thought they handled the pressure superbly. Although we did choke under the circumstances, i will give credit where credit is due and that must go to the Leicestershire lower order, who were led phenomenally by Ricky Ponting. Some of the shots Ponting played today were unstoppable and outrageous, yet somehow he never looked like getting out. I am disappointed with the loss, but congrats to the Leics for winnings the division. Well played." - A Morris after the match.
Somerset will play off in a couple of weeks time in the relegation/promotion battle which could decide the future and prospects of some of the players.

Glamorgan lose
Glamorgan travelled to Worcestershire for their match and it turned out victorist for the home side.
Batting first, S Ramesh went bersurk scoring 120 off a 110 balls - a fine innings from him. Not to be outdone, M Robinson - batting at number 4, scored a swashbuckling innings off 83* off 59 balls! G Flower also tipped in with 35 off 46 balls as Worcestershire made 319 off 50 overs.
P Jones and D Tuffey were the pick of the Glam bowlers.
Chasing 320 off 50 overs - at a rate of 6.4 runs per over, the Glam innings never got going.
Opener O Hemp was the best of the Glam batsmen with a 120 off 140 balls, and later on K Newell - who is retiring at the end of this season, came and played a cameo off a innings scoring 75 off 79 balls in a lost cause. S Dighe scratched around for 17 off 32 balls.
Glam ended up with 260 off 50 overs, losing by 59 runs and the MOTM was O Hemp.
Manger Craig Walsh said after the game at the press conference:"To tell how disappionted I am would be an understatement. We just didnt bowl well - with the exception of P Jones and D Tuffey, our accuracy was lacking.
"Conceding over 300 runs in an innings is not good enough I'm afraid. And when we need to go for it, we never got going, especially to S Dighe who held up our innings with just 17.
Credit must go to K Newell and O Hemp, but the rest, I wont got any further."

Province Slide towards Relegation
The final round was one which Province needed to win to confirm itself a division 3 spot next year.
The tension was evident from the outset as Province looked to dominate, Lee, Yates and Irani keeping the game in balance. However star Indian Vinod Kambli came to take the game away from Province. Blasting 109 off just 114 balls, Province were looking down the barrel of a massive total. However Irani's composure under pressure picking up a double hat-trick. HOwever it came to late as Hampshire posted 264, with Irani the pick taking 5-42 off 9.
Province then began their chase brilliantly as Llewellyn and Astle both scored half centuries, this was then backed up by another half century to the impressive Rickman. At 3-221 Province were looking like cruising over the line, however some nervous batting from the middle order, and some great bowling by Hampshire especially McGill and Tremlett saw Province fall agonisingly short, only 4 runs in it.
This means the Province now play a determined Canterbury in a fortnight in the play off game.
Slats4ever
"This was our season in a nutshell, 3 games lost by 5 runs or less, a tied result and missing out by a point. We're better than this but now we have to prove it or we die simple as that really. Rickman and Llewellyn were once again impressive but the batting just didn't respond to the call"

ns wturn up and take div 2
nsw had to turn up in a tight tite finish in div 2.
nsw on equal points with vic and 2 points behind was yorkshire with not much in the net run rate between all 3.
vic batting first couldnt put in the performance they where looking for and crumbled to be all out for 136. warne being the main destroyer with 5 for 66, taking a little beating but a michelle pfiefer helping the blues to a great bowling performance.
also well backed up by c cairns with 3 / 18 of 5 overs.
g lloyd was the key with 43 (31), and b hodge 37 (43).
nsw in return passed the smallish total 2 down in 23 overs with
G Kirsten 19 (36), B Haddin 40 (29) ,
J Kallis not out 49 (44)
M Bevan not out 21 (26)
nsw very happy as this time last year the div 1 side was demoted but a year later they have proven critics wrong and been promoted to re visit the div that they narrowly missed on by 2 points in the 1st season.

Manger gets first win as Guyana thrash Mashonaland
Guyana turned around a dissapointing season to thrash Mashonaland by 229 runs in their final one-day match of the season. Guyana were lead by man of the match G. Kumar (137*) to score 2-308 off their allocated fifty overs and then continuted the onslaught to dissmiss Mashonaland for 79.
The day started well for Guyana after they won the toss and captain Sarwan had no hesitation in batting. New opening pair G. Kumar and S. Saravanan pilled on 155 before Saravanan (81, 71 balls) was run out attempting a quick single. Kumar was then joined by Sarwan (40, 40 balls) for a quick fire partnership of 71. Just after the dismissal of Sarwan, Kumar brought up his century with a powerfull six over cover off the bowling of Rogers. Kumar was joined by Cameron who masacred 43 off 35 balls to see Guyana through to 308.
Although having a strong total of 308, Guyana's bowling of late has been suspect, so they needed to bowl consistently well to get a win. The Guyana bowlers were expensive but with wickets falling at regular intervals Mashonaland never threatened the total of 308. Malik was the destroyer for Guyana taking 3-7 off his three overs.
It will be a long off season for Guyana after their final four-day game this weekend with many players being traded and some new blood arriving in Georgetown. Guyana will issue a press release before the draft on the players released and traded for season 4.
