Scottish Cricket: West title pointer

Keith Graham

Despite the unsettled weather, Corey Richards, West of Scotland's Australian professional, has already notched two impressive half-centuries in the SNCL Premiership.

Tomorrow, he comes face to face with Jason Arnberger, the man he replaced at Hamilton Crescent, when the Partick team travel to Mannofield to face Aberdeenshire.

Arnberger, of course, scored a match-winning century in his solitary league outing against Ferguslie and so weather permitting, runs may be expected to flow.

No West players are in Scotland's World Cup squad and so, with the exception of Gregor Maiden, playing for Loughborough University, the visitors will be at full strength. Only Mike Smith is missing from the Aberdeenshire line-up and so this game could provide a pointer to the eventual championship winners.
