Crowe dominant
NZPA-Reuter London The New Zealand test player, Martin Crowe, scored his maiden English county cricket championship century yesterday to help Somerset race to" 364 for three at the close of play on the second day of their three-day match against Middlesex. Crowe hit 125 in 195 minutes with 16 fours, adding 249 in a superb 76-over partnership with Nigel Popplewell (127 not out). Somerset, chasing Middlesex’s formidable first innings total of 473 for seven declared, slipped to 82 for two. Crowe’s New Zealand
team-mate, Richard Hadlee, was also in prime form, scoring a powerful 71 for Nottinghamshire and then taking two crucial wickets. © At Milton Keynes the banned test opener, Wayne Larkins, and the young wicket-keeper, David Ripley, produced fine innings in contrasting styles to steer Northamptonshire to a draw in its three-day match against the West Indies. Larkins, banned from test cricket until next year for his part in the rebel England tour of South Africa in 1982, hit nine sparkling fours in his second innings of 46, while Ripley, aged 17, opening the innings, scored a patient 42.
