William Bosisto batting for Rochdale

Rochdale professional took five for 18 then followed up with 25 not out as Rochdale beat Austerlands by six wickets on Saturday.

He and Michael Harling put the brakes on Austerlands after they had got off to a flying start, and in taking five wickets each they reduced Austerlands to 98 all out after they had been handily place at 80 for one.

Bosisto’s steadfast approach then bound Rochdale’s innings together after they had been rocking at 19 for three.

The more cavalier method employed by first Tom Avery, who hit three sixes, and then Derek Faulkner, ensured that Rochdale got home with 23 overs to spare.
