Seven-for and seventy: March’s Aussie Meyer celebrates dream competitive debut
AUSSIE star Ryan Meyer shows his delight during a dream competitive debut for March Town Cricket Club on Sunday.
The 21-year-old left-arm spinner hit a classy 70 before sealing a match-winning performance with seven wickets.
“I certainly haven’t had a better debut than that,” he said.
“I thought I batted and bowled pretty well. It’s taken me a little bit of time to get used to these English wickets but I’m slowly getting there.
“To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t get 100.”
