Logans Runs

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

On Monday the sun was shining so I decided to take the wife and son to Chester.The other option was Barrow but I thought Chester would be a better shopping centre.
Cheshire were playing Wiltshire at Boughton Hall which is near the centre of Chester.

It was the second day and on Sunday Cheshire bowled out Wilts for 251 however Syddall had been injured fielding so would play no further part in the match.At the start of the day Cheshire were 125 for 3.Dixon was batting and soon started hitting sixes but was soon out.The major batsman of the day came in Richard Logan. Last year he was playing for Surrey and a number of counties.At lunch he was just short of his hundred after arriving at the crease just after twelve o,clock.

After lunch the wife and son went into Chester and I sat with some of the Lancashire professional cricket watchers. These included Geoff from Stockport,Steve from Warrington and Steve who supports Somerset.Logan went on to score 139 not out which was his maiden century for Cheshire. The team declared after ninety overs at 404 for 7.A excellent effort.

Wiltshire started batting and founded hard going against the Cheshire bowling.They managed to get to 208 for 5 which meant they were fifty five runs ahead but five wickets down.

Excellent warm day with good company and good cricket.
