OXFORDSHIRE Development XI ended their season on a high note with a six-wicket thrashing of a weak Northants Academy side in a one-day clash at Bicester & North Oxord CC.

Oxford seamer Zia Hamid (4-25) ripped out the Northants top order, before Great & Little Tew’s Andy Harris took 3-18 as the visitors were bowled out for 129 after being put in to bat.

Chris Watling then smashed 54 off 58 balls with two sixes and six fours before skipper Richard West hit an unbeaten 40 to steer Oxon home at 130-4 with a massive 24 overs to spare.
