“He just totally blitzed their batting line-up and ensured we won the game.
“After being bowled out for 127, we knew it was going to take something special for us to win and Craig produced that.
“He just got on a run and was unstoppable.

Hide AdWickers skipper Russell Martin decided to bat first but only he and Tom Pask made scores of note.
Martin fell for 24, while Pask made 44 as Southwick were bowled out for 127 in 31.5 overs.
With such a low total to defend, Wickers needed something special.
It did not look good for them as Brighton’s openers Dave Marks (21) and Kieran Buck (40) put the visitors in a commanding position.
