Skipper Richard Lynch produced an outstanding all-round performance to give Cropredy an eight-wicket win at Abingdon Vale.
First, he took 5-45 off a marathon 25 overs - which included ten maidens - as Abingdon were rolled over for 114-9 off 50 overs in the face of some excellent fielding and catching, Paul Lemon top-scoring with 33.
And then, with rain clouds threatening, the Aussie ace smashed an unbeaten 61 as Cropredy cruised to 116-2 in 24 overs.
Lynch's knock included three big sixes, while Ralph Orchard made 32.
