BURFORD School’s first team were given a lesson in batting as they hosted MCC for the first time in their history.

Their team consisted of many former county players, and most notably, former West Indies captain Jimmy Adams.

Electing to bat first, MCC declared on 222-4 from their 44 overs as Oxford batsman Nick Ferraby top-scored with 120, before being stumped by Ben Geeson-Brown off the bowling of Ivan Rivers.

Rivers finished with 2-60 from ten overs, while Adam Wallington and Matt Barker were the other wicket-takers.

In reply, Burford began slowly with openers Ross Barrett and Tim Lowe batting for 65 minutes for an opening stand of 23.

Lowe was lbw for 13, while Barrett batted for just under two hours for his 36 before fell leg before to Adams.

After that, wickets tumbled steadily as Burford were dismissed for 125 – six overs short of securing a draw.
