Atherton affixes England
LONDON. July 1 Disciplined bat ■ ting from Michael
Atherton took England to 109 for two at tea on the third day of the second Test of five with the West Indies here at Lord's on Saturday. 79 runs away from their victory' target of 188. reports AFP.
The former England captain shared a second-wicket partnership of 92 with Michael Vaughan, the Lancashire-born Yorkshire batsman's 41 showing a quality of patient application similar to Atherton's famous brand as England battled to level the series at one all.
At tea England were 109 for two. Atherton 44 not out after 192 minutes and 130 balls of typical defiance that also featured six fours.
Graeme Hick was nine not out.
Atherton had more than his fair share of luck, particularly against Curtly Ambrose.
The West Indies spearhead was reduced to throwing his hands in the air and appealing to the heavens after yet another dehverv cut back and narrowly went over the top of the stumps.
Vaughan too had moments of good fortune against the Antiguan giant, an Inside edge missing leg-stump by a fraction before crossing the fine-leg boundary.
He took 29 balls to get off the
mark but apart from the occasional loose shot did not appear to be unduly flustered by the pressure of the situation.
His first scoring stroke betrayed no sign of nerves a well-struck straight drive off Courtney Walsh going for three runs.
Next ball Atherton clipped the Jamaican world Test wicket record-holder for four off his legs.
Vaughan, seeing the ball well then had the effrontery to pull a short Ambrose ball for four through midwicket.
But in between the solid strokes there were plenty of fresh air shots and both batsmen almost played on.
A Vaughan four against Franklyn Rose through a strangely vacant square-leg
area brought up a 50 partnership off I 1 1 balls.
Vaughan's luck ran out when on 41 he at last got an edge to a Walsh delivery, keeper Ridley Jacobs taking the easy catch.
As he walked back Vaughan was rewarded with an enthusiastic ovation from MCC members in the Lord's Pavilion who appreciated his 93 ball. 143 minute innings that featured six fours.
Hick began confidently by cutting his first ball, from Walsh for four. But the next ball saw him too play and miss outside oil-stump.
The Zinibabwe-boi n batsman. still on four then offered off Reon King an extremely
sharp chance to short-leg where Wax-ell Hinds just failed to react quickly enough.
Undaunted Hick hooked the last ball before tea from Walsh for four, splitting the two fielders stationed behind square leg. although the shot was far from convincing.
The Worcestershire captain took his eye off the ball in a fashion akin to Ian Botham's playing of the shot facing Dennis Lillee in his famous innings of 118 against Australia at Old Trafford in 1981.
Earlier, resuming on their overnight score of nought Atherton and Mark Ram-prakash began cautiously.
With three days to reach their target of 188 they had time on their side and there was certainly no need for any rash strokes, even allowing for rain interruptions.
Walsh, from the Nursery End. helped England on their way with a no-hall with the first ball of the day. His next delivery was steered down to third-man for two by Ram-prakash who thus avoided a pair' on his home ground. I
Atherton was watchful in defence. doing his best not to follow the ball if it deviated off the pitch.
However. Ramprakash brought about his own downfall. needlessly trying to force through the offside a Walsh de-Uvery that admittedly kept low.
Ramprakash was out for two, England three for one in the sixth over.
By contrast, Atherton showed the value of patience and sound shot selection, taking 27 balls to get off the mark.
Vaughan followed Atherton’s example but no-one can be sure how many more England batsmen will be required to show the same mental resilience in this enthralling Test.
