The Royal London One Day Cup 2015
Hales and Christian helped Nottinghamshire kick
off their Royal London Cup campaign in impressive
style with a nine-wicket victory over Warwickshire at
Welbeck Cricket Club. Hales blasted his way to 103
and hit seven fours and nine sixes in his 61-ball stay
as Notts chased down their victory target in only 28.1
overs.
During the first part of the day, Christian took the
bowling plaudits for the home side, taking 5 for 40, as
Warwickshire were bowled out for 220 in only 49.1 overs
after being invited to bat first. Bell, given dispensation
by the ECB to play in between Test matches, made
52 from 83 deliveries but there was little in the way of
support for him, as last season’s runners-up made a
stuttering start this time around.
Defending a modest total, the visitors ran into Hales
and the in-form Wessels, as the openers put on 164 in
just 20.1 overs before Gordon picked up the only wicket
to fall, having Hales caught at the wicket by Ambrose.
Wessels reached his own 50 from 56 deliveries, and
he closed on 86*, with Taylor making an unbeaten 24.
Earlier, Warwickshire were under pressure after a
drive by Bell was deflected by the bowler, Fletcher, on
to the stumps and Webb was adjudged to be short of
his ground.
Christian took centre stage with his medium-fast
swing bowling and he picked up wickets in each of his
next three overs.
Bell and Woakes mounted a fightback, adding 63
before Christian returned to remove them both...
Barker hit a lusty 27 and Javid contributed 33 but
the total always seemed well below par.
