Buckingham Town Cricket Club - May 14th 2006

Murphy, who played 11 Test Matches and 31 One Day Internationals for his country, showed his experience for the Home Counties Premier Division outfit after Greg Pearson's early brace had the visitors on the back foot at 17 for 2.

Murphy paced the innings along with his Skipper Chris Ellison (32) as Pearson, two for 35 from nine overs, proved a constant threat with the ball and found Jason Ell a good support.

Valambhia bowled a tidy spell at the end before Murphy (59) smashed a ball at Ell, who accepted the sharp chance in the covers.

Darren White finished undefeated on 55 as his side made it home with 15 balls remaining.

Earlier in the day, Bryn Jones (20) and Rob Large (29) helped Town get off to a good start as Town's new mobile wicket covers ensured the game was able to be played.

Jonny Cater made a fine half century and shared a stand of 53 with Greg Pearson (20) before James Tomlinson (22 not out) and Ben Stafford (12 not out) hit late order runs to take their side through to 181 for 6 from their 45 overs.
