TIED matches in cricket only occur once in a while - but, bizarrely for South Wilts, it happened twice inside three hours in the NatWest Under-16 Indoor League at the Ageas Bowl.
First they finished all-square with Basingstoke & North Hants - each team scoring 142 - then they tied with the South East Hants Sixers district side, 140 runs apiece.
Miles Kantolinna shone in both games, but SE Hants wicketkeeper Ollie Wright narrowly missed out on scoring fifties in his two games.
