Smith is on song against Shropshire

10 Jun 2014 | Cricket
Ruaidhri Smith shone with both bat and ball in Wales' opening Minor County Championship match against Shropshire at Pontarddulais, with the youngster claiming eleven wickets in the match as the home side won by eight wickets.

The mathematics student at Bristol University began with figures of 5/52 before posting 40 in Wales' reply. Yesterday, after a delayed start he ripped through the Shropshire batting with a return of 6/24 as the visitors were dismissed for just 62 in their second innings.


Smith was then promoted to number three when Wales batted again and he struck an unbeaten 35 as they reached their target for the loss of just two wickets.
