Teenage Crane claims Hampshire record - chairman - 08-08-2015 Mason Crane bamboozled Warwickshire to become the youngest Hampshire player to take a LV= County Championship five-wicket haul on day two at the Ageas Bowl. Leg-spinner Crane, who is 18 and 171 days, beat Alex Kennedy’s 106-year record by 21 days as he posted figures of 5-35. He shared the Hampshire wickets with West Indian Fidel Edwards who also returned a five-wicket haul with marginally better figures of 5-32. It was not all plain sailing for Crane as he dropped a basic chance at mid-on to give Laurie Evans a life – off Jackson Bird, who was bitterly unlucky to go wicketless. The 18-year-old Crane began his wicket-taking spell by bowling Warwickshire captain Varun Chopra with a well-disguised googly. Then four balls later Crane added another former Test star to his scalp list – his first professional wicket was Kumar Sangakkara – as Jonathan Trott scored a second duck in a week against Hampshire. Sam Hain and Tim Ambrose then departed in two balls to leave Crane on a hat-trick – Hain caught behind while wicketkeeper Ambrose was leg-before – to end a 20-ball spell of four wickets for six runs. Edwards had taken the first Warwickshire wicket before lunch when Ian Westwood edged to Gareth Berg at fourth slip. He then took over from his accomplice Crane to clean up the tail with his speedy and slingy action. Re: Teenage Crane claims Hampshire record - chairman - 08-08-2015 Re: Teenage Crane claims Hampshire record - dillinger10 - 08-09-2015 I have seen Crane bowl twice for Hampshire and he looks like he could be something special. He is still very young and raw, but the talent is clearly there. Batsman have a real hard time picking his googly. Former Hampshire spinner Raj Maru deserves a lot of credit as he has worked closely with the lad. I am excited to see how he continues to progress. Re: Teenage Crane claims Hampshire record - dillinger10 - 08-10-2015 A much needed victory for Hampshire in this match against Warwickshire. Fidel Edwards took four more wickets in the second innings for a 9 wicket haul in the match. It is good to have him back in the side. They are still rooted to the bottom of Division One but have closed the gap on both Sussex and Worcestershire with 6 games still remaining. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-championship-div1-2015/engine/series/803387.html?view=pointstable Re: Teenage Crane claims Hampshire record - dillinger10 - 08-10-2015 Video of Crane and Fidel Edwards five-wicket hauls can be viewed below: Warwickshire had no answer for Fidel in the second innings either as he bowled with a real head of steam and bagged four more wickets.
