DUCK FAILS TO RUFFLE TOM'S FEATHERS

Leading run-getters Tom Morton and David Banks both bagged ducks before their respective Southern Electric Premier League matches were abandoned last week.
Morton copped a zero against Lymington at Bemerton, while Bournemouth’s Matt Metcalfe, who leads the bowling charts, celebrated his 30th scalp of the season when he removed Totton’s Banks without scoring.
Paultons’ Aussie leg-spinner Dean White has moved alongside New Milton’s Ryan Beck in the SPL2 bowling stakes – they both have 30 wickets – while there’s no halting the number of victims Tom Prodomo has pouched.  He now has 30 snares behind the stumps.
Hambledon’s Western Australia Rookie State player Michael Johnson has moved well clear of Portsmouth’s Shehram Malik and George Marshall (US) in the SPL3 run-scoring stakes.
Seasoned Bashley (Rydal) II all-rounder Neil Taylor has moved up on the rails in the bowling lists and is now only one wicket behind Liphook offie Alan Crawford.
