Liam Norwell had never made a hundred in any form of cricket until he took one
off Derbyshire at Bristol in April. But the one we deem worthy of a place in the
Top 10 moments came from Owen Morgan, a Swansea-born allrounder, whose maiden
hundred was also the matchwinning shot against Worcestershire at New Road in
August. He was the first Glamorgan player to achieve the feat and the win took
them off the bottom of the table.9 Its the taking part that mattersSometimes it
really is true to say that it is not the winning that matters but the taking
part. Tom Fell, made a memorable comeback for Worcestershire after first
testicular cancer and then chemotherapy for lymph cancer and made a stylish
half-century against Leicestershire at New Road after an absence of nearly 10
months. The most uplifting fifty of the season.8 Taunton last-wicket
heroicsSummers can turn on days like this, when events unfold quickly and heroes
emerge. So it was for Somerset on a bewitching day in Taunton at the end of May,
as Nos. 10 and 11, Jack Leach and Tim Groenewald, eked out the 31 runs they
required for a victory that felt close to impossible 24 hours earlier.
Groenewald cover drove the winning runs after he and Leach had nervelessly
played out 11 dot balls with just one required. Taunton had freed itself from a
sequence of turgid draws - and was never quite the same again.7 Old dog
Tomlinson heads back to the denRetirement statements are often cobbled together
by communications officers and spout predictable thanks. Not so James Tomlinson.
Tomlinson might not have been one of the most eye-catching county pros, but he
provided a warm and witty farewell to county cricket, recalling a nature
documentary about wild dogs on a hunt and comparing himself to the old dog at
the back of the pack, trying to keep up. Lovely stuff.6 John Simpsons sixJohn
Simpsons six over fine leg off Jim Allenby capped a thrilling run chase at
Taunton by Middlesex which proved to be a key moment in their Championship
success. Middlesexs two-wicket win seemed unlikely with 96 needed off the final
eight overs, but Simpsons unbeaten 79 from 80 balls brought victory with two
balls to spare. 5 Graham Napiers Colchester farewellGraham Napier was among his
people, in the town where he was born. That it was his last appearance at the
Colchester Festival before his retirement was incontestable and there was talk,
too, that the Festival itself was under threat. He left everyone something to
relish - a marvellous draw-securing 124 against Sussex, one of the key moments
in Essexs securing of the Division Two title.4 Chris Woakes whirlwindWhen your
task is to replace Ben Stokes in a Test on Stokes home ground, you must replace
a force of nature. Chris Woakes pronounced he was ready with figures of 9 for 36
against Durham at Edgbaston. His relentless swing bowling at pace was a
harbinger of a fine summer ahead. Woakes would be seen in a new light from that
day forward.3 Tim Bresnans bonus pointYorkshires Championship challenge had
stuttered all season but somehow they hung in there and thanks to the greatest
knock of Tim Bresnans career - an unbeaten 142 - they kept their ambitions alive
against until the final moments of the season. The tension was unbearable as
Bresnan and last man Ryan Sidebottom edged towards the 350 Yorkshire needed to
stay in the hunt. Who would have thought that the search for a batting bonus
point could be captivating?2 James Hildreths hobbleFor the most courageous
innings of the season look no further than James Hildreth in Somersets final
match of the season. Hildreth was only 15 when he was struck on the ankle by
Jake Ball, but hobbled on with a runner to make one of the most defiant
Championship centuries in history. Hildreths black-and-blue ankle circulated
around social media and an x-ray confirmed it was broken. A couple of days
later, Somerset were broken too.1 The title hat-trickAfter 16 matches and nearly
six months, the Championship was settled by a hat-trick. Toby Roland-Jones
secured Middlesexs first title since 1993 and, whatever the shenanigans to set
up the denouement, their unbeaten record insisted they deserved it. The
Championship enjoyed a heady afternoon when it was talked about as much as
Premier League football and even their salt-of-the-earth director of cricket
Angus Fraser, central to the Middlesex resurgence, was beaming with contentment.

all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a
hearing. PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies manager Pete Mackanin enjoyed watching Jake
Thompson pitch on Sunday. That was about it.Thompson pitched seven effective
innings, but Philadelphia managed just five hits in a 2-0 loss to Julio Teheran
and the Atlanta Braves.It was nice to see, Mackanin said. After his first four
outings with us we werent sure about what we were seeing, but his last two
outings, especially today, he pitched extremely well.Thompson (1-5) allowed one
run and four hits in his second consecutive quality start after a shaky
beginning to his big league career. The right-hander struck out six and walked
four.Teheran (5-9) allowed five hits in six innings. The right-hander improved
to 5-1 with a 1.55 ERA in six career starts in Philadelphia.Everything is coming
together, Teheran said. I feel really good. The last two innings I really
battled, but I made pitches.Teheran cruised through the first four innings, and
then wriggled out of bases-loaded jams in the fifth and sixth. Maikel Franco
grounded out for the final out of the fifth and Peter Bourjos lined to right on
Teherans final pitch.He was really good, Braves manager Brian Snitker said. That
last inning he battled his butt off. Hes healthy now and his velocity is back
up. Hes back where he needs to be.Jim Johnson worked the ninth for his 15th
save.Matt Kemp, who was acquired in a July 30 trade with San Diego, hit a
leadoff drive in the second for his 28th homer. Freddie Freeman added another
leadoff drive in the eighth for his 29th of the year.Its never fun to lose, but
I thought I threw the ball well other than one bad pitch in the second inning,
Thompson said. Its nice to know they have confidence in me to get out of those
(tough) situations as well.Like Teheran, Thompson got into a couple of jams but
also pitched out of them, getting Nick Markakis to ground into a double play to
escape aa bases-loaded situation in the sixth and retiring Adonis Garcia on a
grounder to third with the bases loaded in the seventh.ddddddddddddThe loss for
the Phillies marked only the fourth time in franchise history that they dropped
every game of a homestand of six games or longer. They also did it earlier this
season. The other two times were in 1883 and 1964.It was a miserable homestand,
Mackanin said. What did we score, 11 runs? Were striking out too much and we
dont have a good two-strike approach. We dont have a lot of plate discipline.
... We just need to be more professional at the plate.SURGINGAtlanta center
fielder Ender Inciarte extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a single in
the sixth inning. ... Freeman extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a
double in the fourth. He has reached safely in 27 straight for the longest
active streak in the majors. The double was the 200th of his career.PUNCHLESS
PHILLIESThe Phillies were shut out for the eighth time this season. They have
scored the fewest runs in the majors this season (500).REINFORCEMENTS
COMINGAfter shutting down Vince Velazquez following his start Saturday because
he reached his innings limit, Phillies general manager Matt Klentak said Alec
Asher likely would be recalled to take his place in the rotation. Klentak said
he expected about a half-dozen more players to be recalled once the minor league
playoff season ends.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Ryan Weber (1-0, 5.24 ERA) opposes
