Good to see Benny back again after a very long lay off.
Great batting but understandably a bit of work needed in the bowling to get back to his best.
Great win for the Shire.

Absolutely, could not agree more......simply wonderful to see Benny back in a Glos shirt. (Initiatlly, when he injured himself at the Oval, I must confess that I did not fully appreciate the seriousness of his injury. Could easily have been career ending and must have caused him endless physical and mental anguish over many months).
What a belligerent match winning knock to finish off our innings, particularly after our mid innings wobble. Batting him at 8, we still had GvB to come in at 9 if needed, so very much a long batting line up with plenty of powerful hitting available.
Hard to believe that we cleared the ropes 14 times in our innings, which was more that the number of boundary 4s that we scored (11).
Nothing more satisfying than beating our "vastly superior" noisy neighbours.
