that's it! Bowled, backing away and Durham win their first trophy in 15 years' of first-class cricket
Durham vs Hampshire, Final at London, Aug 18 2007 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Ottis Gibson has been announced the Man of the Match, a unanimous decision. He wins a cheque for £1,500. "The supporters have been waiting a long time for this," he said, with a big beam before adding modestly: "I was a bit fortunate with two early wickets."
"Aw look, I wouldn't have done anything differently," said Shane Warne - with a nod to his decision to field first. "Congratulations to Durham, they outplayed us from ball one. It's never easy to lose, but we've had a lot of success."
A beaming Benkenstein said: "It's nice to get it finished, it's been a long two days. It's probably the best day of my cricket career."
