Eng v R.O.W. July 14 1993 SIMMONS SPARKLES IN THE RAIN
West Indian Phil Simmons followed his first day century for the
Rest of the World with a super 58 against an England XI before
rain washed out play.
This second one day match at the Jesmond Festival was reduced to
40 over a side and the Rest of the World made 149 4 before the
rain set in.
Essex's Mark Ilott impressed with figures of 1 13 off four overs
while Phil DeFreitas returned 0 13.

  West Indian batsman Phil Simmons, who scored  a  sparkling
century  in Tuesday's win over an England XI, followed it up
with  an  attractive  58  for  the  Rest  of  the  World  on
Wednesday.   But  rain  spoiled spectators' hopes of further
entertainment and the second one-day match  in  the  Jesmond
festival  had  to  be abandoned after Rest of the World made
149 for four off 25 overs.
   Graham Gooch, captaining the England XI, took none for 34
in  four  overs but held on to a fine running catch at short
fine leg to remove Simmons.  The opener's half-century  came
off  only  41  balls  and included two sixes and four fours.
