BADSEY slumped to a heavy and swift reverse at Highley last Saturday.

Asked to bat first on a bouncy pitch, the visitors encountered problems from the start and were dismissed for just 81 in the 37th over.

Dave Powell, Tony Cowley and Clive Richards were the only batsmen to reach double figures as Barbadian Junior Boyce proved almost unplayable claiming four wickets for just five runs from six overs.

A close catching field saw opener Stuart Humphries consistently send the ball over the top as Highley raced to victory.

The opener hit nine 4s and four in an undefeated 64 that hurried the hosts to victory in the 11th over.
