Brandy stars in drawn game

Damien Brandy hit a brilliant 149 as Leicestershire drew their Second X1 match against Warwickshire at Kenilworth.

There was also an excellent century from John Maunders as Leicestershire piled up an impressive 413 for six declared in their first innings.

Maunders has recently been released by Middlesex and is having a trial with Leicestershire in a bid to earn himself a contract at Grace Road.

Coach Lloyd Tennant was full of praise for both players and said of Brandy: "It was fantastic knock and he never gave a chance. He was run out on 149, otherwise he would have still be batting now."

Warwickshire were then dismissed for 294 on the second day with the wickets shared around between a strong Leicestershire attack which included Matthew Whiley, Charles Dagnall and Jamie Grove.

But with the pitch getting slower all the time a draw always looked the most likely result. Leicestershire eventually set Warwickshire a target of 313 in 72 overs, but they finished well short for the loss of only one wicket.
