CC: SURREY v WARWICKSHIRE, The Oval, 18-21 July 1970

Warwickshire came from behind to snatch the major points by  lev-
elling the scores with a bye from the final ball. This was run to
the  wicket-keeper  standing   back   to   Jackman  and    earned
Warwickshire  five points. They were set 266 in three hours and a
half, and an anchor innings by Jameson, 101 in three  hours,  and
brilliant  hitting  and improvisation by Smith opened the way for
the exciting climax. Tidy, the young leg-spinner, played a  large
part  in the success. He took a brilliant one-handed catch on the
first day to check Edwards when he seemed set for a century,  and
he  routed Surrey in the second innings with his leg breaks accu-
rately and purposefully bowled. Storey reached 100 in  two  hours
ten  minutes, an innings of splendid off-driving, for Surrey who,
not for the first time, had the better of the game until the last
day,  when  their  opponents  seized the spoils. Next day, Surrey
were in another sizzling finish when Sussex beat them on the last
ball of the Gillette Cup semi-final.
