da aposte e ganhe: Colin Evans27-Jun-2001Jamie Haynes marked his debut as a Lancashire opener with an unbeaten half-century in the seven-wicket win over Warwickshire Cricket Board at Blackpool today.Haynes, Lancashire’s second team ‘keeper, is aiming to carve out a new career as a specialist batsman and will take Mike Atherton’s place in the CricInfo Championship game against Surrey at The AMP Oval on Friday.But he was brought in for today’s C & G Trophy tie because of an injury to Mark Chilton and he responded with 59* to deflate the would-be giant killers.Lancashire needed 164 and they got there in the 35th over with a hard-hitting knock from Andy Flintoff, who made 40 off 26 balls.But Flintoff got out to a disappointing shot and John Crawley’s hopes of a second successive one-day half-century disappeared when he was caught and bowled after hammering a six and five fours.Haynes, however, played steadily, linking up with Neil Fairbrother to steer Lancashire home with few problems.But the Board side left with their heads held high after a defiant fight-back earlier in the day.After deciding to bat they slumped to 22-5 and later 76-8. But Gavin Shephard rescued them with a magnificent 73, which earned them the man-of-the-match award.Shephard piled on 86 in 16 overs with left-hander Spencer Platt – only one short of the tournament record for the ninth-wicket.Lancashire’s Peter Martin claimed a competition best 5-16.
