AXA Equity & Law League - Matches on Sunday Sep 12th 1993

MIDDLESEX v LANCASHIRE: Lord's
Rain caused the Sunday League match between  Middlesex  and  Lan-
cashire  to  be abandoned after 20 overs at Lord's.  But that was
still enough time for home opener Mike Roseberry to rush  to  his
second  AXA  Equity & Law half century of the season as Middlesex
reached 75 4.  Roseberry hit a run a ball 50 with two  sixes  and
three fours in an hour  but was dismissed off Peter Martin for 51
in what proved the game's last over.

GLOUCS v NOTTS: Bristol
Gloucestershire's Sunday League clash with Nottinghamshire lasted
just  11.5 overs before being washed out.  Simon Hinks was caught
in the slips off the first ball from Chris Lewis but  Matt   Win-
dows  hit a powerful 24 with a six and 4 fours before the weather
won.  Windows  a Durham University student drove and pulled boun-
daries  off  Gregory  Mike  and Lewis before finishing with a six
over extra cover off Andy Pick.

DERBYSHIRE v NORTHANTS: Derby
Derbyshire's opening batsman Peter Bowler set a new Sunday League
record  for  the  county before rain washed out the match against
Northamptonshire.  Bowler passed Kim Barnett's record of 700 runs
in a season during his innings of 40  which took his aggregate to
722.  But his top score  of  79  in  Derbyshire's 214  8   became
academic   when  heavy rain prevented Allan Lamb's Northants side
coming back out to reply.

WARWICKS v SOMERSET: Edgbaston
Somerset were condemned to bottom place in the Sunday League  for
the first time following a wash out against Warwicks.  With fewer
wins than nearest rivals Nottinghamshire  they are certain of the
wooden spoon even if they win their last game against Durham next
weekend.  Another defeat seemed to be  looming before  the   rain
halted  their  stuttering  progress  to 133 6 in 40 overs against
tight Warwickshire bowling.

YORKSHIRE v SUSSEX: Scarborough
West Indian Richie Richardson marked his return to Sunday cricket
to  inspire  Yorkshire'  21  run win over Sussex.  Richardson re-
turned from injury to hit 89 from 116 balls including two   sixes
and four fours to steer Yorkshire to 255 7 in 50 overs.  Ex White
Rose star Billy Athey hit 51 in 97 balls to  spearhead   Sussex's
reply   but  Peter  Hartley  hit  back with a career best 5 36 as
Sussex slid to 234.
