St Cross Symondians went on a scoring frenzy belting 329-4 against Sarisbury Athletic – their highest ECB Southern Electric Premier League total on home soil at the Green Jackets Ground !

They ran amok from the outset, with Tom Foyle smashing a boundary strewn 75 off 56 balls.

His knock, which contained five sixes and seven fours, set a perfect platform for New Zealander Michael Pollard to hit a century and former Hampshire prospect Adam Rouse to nail a quick fire 88.

Amid the carnage, Sarisbury’s Dan Goldstraw celebrated his 450th Premier League wicket.

But it was no more than a token consolation as shell shocked Sarisbury  later collapsed from 43-0, losing five wickets for eight runs in an astonishing top order collapse, which saw half their side back in the pavilion and only 51 runs on the board.

Richard Taylor (4-28) and James Marsh (2-40) did the damage – four successive Sarisbury batsmen bagging ducks before Guernsey teenager Matt Stokes (3-36) ended late order resistance to bowl the visitors out for 162.

St Cross Symondians won the match by a thumping 167 runs.

Wellington provincial batsman Pollard had experienced a lean time since his visa delayed arrival in the UK – he was bowled first ball at South Wilts last week – but he cashed in this time.

The Kiwi struck two sixes and eight fours in his 105 and shared a century-plus stand with Adam Rouse, whose unbeaten 88 included two maximums and eight boundaries.

Stokes hit a crisp 20 before arguably Sarisbury’s worst 50-over ordeal in Premier League cricket came to an end.

Ricky Rawlins, eventually seventh out for 75 at 130, and Jonathan Norris (21) gave Sarisbury a confident enough start, but when Taylor had Norris caught at 43, last year’s Division 1 champions collapsed.

The St Cross captain trapped Ryan Covey (0) leg before and then Marsh removed Ryan Burl and Jack Lovett in the space of three deliveries.

When Taylor got another leg before verdict against Kieran Geyle, Sarisbury had dropped to 51-5 after four successive ducks.

The only significant resistance came from Rawlins, marooned helplessly at the non-striker’s end during the collapse, and the evergreen Colin Day (30), who raised spirits - and the score to 130 - whereupon another three quick wickets fell.

Stokes, the Channel Islands prodigy, returned for a second spell to end Sarisbury’s agony on 162 all out.
