Circumspect Hampton gets Bay home
Brett Hampton showed he's more than just a boundary hunter after helping lift Bay of Plenty to a harder-than-it-needed-to-be, one-day win over Poverty Bay yesterday at Mt Maunganui's Bay Oval.
The big-hitting allrounder, who has two club centuries so far this season at better than a run-a-ball,Back Replica Submariner Rolex Kellot. played a more circumspect innings as he and middle-order batsman Tim Clarke dug Bay of Plenty out of a hole, lifting them to a five-wicket win.
Clarke and Hampton arrived at the crease with Bay battling at 109 for five chasing 210 for victory, having failed to capitalise on a tidy start with a top-order collapse that saw three wickets crash when the score was 80 without a run being added.
One hundred balls later and the pair were still there, with Bay tucking away maximum points in the Fergus Hickey Rosebowl clash, winning by five wickets and with five overs to spare.
Hampton, with arguably the best eye of any player in the province and who's also a premier grade tennis player and a single figure handicap golfer, was hardly pedestrian, with his unbeaten 47 coming off 52 balls, including seven fours.
The left-handed Clarke played a valuable and intelligent anchor role,chanel womenhandbags compact fluorescent light. topscoring for Bay with a 70-ball 49.
Hampton was particularly brutal late in the innings, lashing spinner Danny Gibbs, but was largely content to work the strike and bring out the long handle to any loose stuff.
"It was a nice innings, a bit of a change from how I'd normally approach it, but that type of knock was what was needed to get the team home," said Hampton, who took seven wickets in an innings in Bay's last game before Christmas against Counties-Manukau.
"Usually I'd get in and try and hit from the start, because that has become my game,The compact fluorescent light bulb are very popular with the men around the world. but Tim and I decided that having lost a few wickets we'd try and dig in for the team."

Seamer Tony Goodin was the best of the home side's attack, bagging 3-28, but there was a feeling Poverty Bay was let off the hook and scored at least 50 more runs than they should have.
Hampton was in an extended New Zealand squad of 25 players for last year's under-19 World Cup but missed the final cut, although he's starting to generate renewed interest with bat and ball.
He can't be too far away from being looked at closely by the Northern Knights, with the Twenty20 game seemingly ripe for a young player of his ability in the next season or two.
"I had a couple of trials for the World Cup team down at Lincoln but my expectations weren't overly high, I was pretty realistic about where my game was at."
