Delray Rawlins produced a phenomenal spell of spin bowling as Sussex Second XI romped to a ten-wicket triumph over MCC Young Cricketers at Eastbourne Cricket Club yesterday.

Brought into the attack as fourth change, the Bermudian all-rounder was virtually unplayable on the way to outstanding figures of one for four with his left-arm spin during a four-over burst that included three maidens.

“My figures were all right,” a modest Rawlins said. “There wasn’t a massive amount of turn or bounce ... but it [the pitch] was nice.”

The MCC held a narrow lead after being dismissed in their second innings in the last session of the three-day match.

Sussex reached their target without loss to put an exclamation mark on their dominance throughout the rain-hit contest that saw no play on the first day due to rain and poor outfield conditions.

“The boys did well in the two days,” Rawlins said. “We played very well against a team that we always felt we should beat.”

All-rounder Ollie Robinson shone with bat and ball for Sussex, scoring 67 in the first innings and claiming nine wickets in the match, including a five-wicket haul in the MCC’s first innings.

“He bowled very nice and struck the ball clean,” Rawlins said of his team-mates’ display.

Also featuring prominently in Sussex’s emphatic victory were captain Harry Finch (50) and Phil Salt (70), who also scored half-centuries in Sussex’s first innings total of 323 all out.

Rawlins smashed a boundary-filled 26 from 52 balls in his only turn at bat that included four boundaries and a six before falling leg-before.

The MCC scored 163 in their first innings after electing to bat, with Robinson claiming five for 48 from 15.4 overs.

Rawlins did not bowl in the first innings as Sussex used five bowlers.

The former St George’s Cup Match and Bermuda all-rounder celebrated a maiden title at Sussex this month after he and his team-mates won the Second XI Twenty20 Championship.

Sussex beat Hampshire by 24 runs in the final at Arundel, West Sussex, with Rawlins scoring 40 and claiming two wickets.
