County Championship round-up Daggett destroys Durham June 10, 2006
Warwickshire 208 and 310 beat Durham 359 and 141 (Daggett 6-30) by 18 runs
Lee Daggett was a man with two missions - kill off Durham and make sure the game finished in time for the football. He did both, handing Warwickshire a surprise 18-run victory over Durham at Edgbaston with a six-wicket haul. In just his second first-team match, the 23-year-old Daggett knocked over the last five batsmen with his fast-medium pacers to end with 6 for 30 from 14.4 overs. It's no surprise that it was Daggett who was the man for the job, being a keen football fan who has attended Bury's Centre of Excellence in the past, and he also has previous as Durham's nemesis. Two years ago, as a Durham UCCE player he took 8 for 94 to destroy their first innings. And now, in just his second first-class match for a county, he has destroyed them again - with 15 minutes to go before kick-off. Durham started the day needing just 98 runs with eight wickets in hand. It should have been a formality but once Heath Streak struck to remove Gary Pratt for 21, Warwickshire kept on striking and Durham lost their last seven wickets for 71. James Anyon, another product of the UCCE system (he was at Loughborough), took the next two wickets to fall but after that it was the Daggett show. By now Durham needed just 45 runs with five wickets, but they couldn't rest on their laurels and folded in the face of some hostile Daggett fire.
Division Two Neither match in the second division ate into the football either. Somerset had the good grace to fold for 313 against Worcestershire, who wrapped up a convincing ten-wicket win at Taunton. Worcestershire were made to bat again but Phil Jaques and Stephen Moore knocked off the 42 runs they needed in just 19 balls. Surrey wrapped up proceedings against Leicestershire at the Oval in plenty of time. For a full report on the final day of that match click here. © Cricinfo
