Shine reacts to win at The Oval
Richard Walsh - 12 June 2001

"I haven't seen too many of those games," was Kevin Shine's reaction to Somerset's 10-over victory over Surrey in the Norwich Union National League on Sunday at the Oval.

"It was an excellent all round performance, and we were very happy to come away with four points. All the bowlers performed well, particularly Ian Jones who came in at the last minute to replace Richard Johnson who went down Sunday morning with food poisoning. Rob Turner was also missing with food poisoning and Mike Burns had to keep wicket."

When it came to the batting he said: "there was some pretty brutal hitting from Ian Blackwell who made an unbeaten 33 to help us home with more than three overs to spare."
