Allison stars as Worcs wrap up big win over Derbys
Ben Allison's first-class career-best of 6-42 in overall match figures of 11-64 helps Worcestershire to a comprehensive 175-run victory over Derbyshire.
Worcestershire's Ben Allison delivered a masterful performance, taking 10 wickets in a match for the first time in his first-class career, as his side outclassed Derbyshire by 175 runs in a County Championship clash at New Road. Allied to two other five-wicket hauls, Allison's 6-42 in overall match figures of 11-64 sealed victory for the Pears.
Set a daunting target of 333, Derbyshire folded to 39-6, Allison's second five-wicket haul crippling their chase. Luis Reece and Amrit Basra offered some resistance, with Reece making 49 from 67 balls and Basra 40. However, Allison's brilliant bowling, including his second five-wicket haul of the match, ensured Worcestershire's dominance. Gibbon's 4-28 contributed to the bowlers' effort, helping the hosts to a convincing victory.
