Kevin Shine FromNorthampton End of Day4.

Just after seeing his side hang on for a draw Kevin Shine said, “It was agood result for us and I’m very pleased with the battle that we put up. After that poor first session when we slumped to 35 for 6 to rescue the game and get a draw is very pleasing.” Regarding Matthew Wood who in his second match scored 90 he said “Woody played very well, first class cricket seems to suit him. He performed well in a pressurised situation, and showed an old head on his young shoulders.” After Ian Blackwell scored a century in each innings Shine said “Blackie is a brutal hitter and did very well to get back to back hundreds in a difficult situation.It was a great achievement in a situation where the pressure was always on him."
