Home comes from a family of half a dozen that have played cricket for Shropshire. He might be only 18 but is showing some real pace and currently has figures of 4-0-9-3 and has 12-114 in the competition to date from three matches
Stewart takes a likely to him and smacks him for 18 runs in 5 balls to go to his 50 (49)
So they take a single off Gilchrist's first ball and then Stewart fails to get a single off the last ball. Remains to be seen if that was brain dead cricket to take that single!

Well it was pretty brain dead cricket because Gilchrist ends up scoring one run off the first 5 balls off the next over with Stewart taking a single off the final ball
