Butcher's unheralded bowling skill1 did the damage, Warwickshire finishing the first day on 102-4. Figures of 2-20 were the personal reward for right-arm occasional bowler Butcher, who included three maidens in his seven overs from the Vauxhall End. His most crucial contribution was to pick up the scalp of Brian Lara. Headlines 301 Sport AZ 399 Rugby 370 Football 302 Genjral 380 Golf 330 York-Derb England Cricket Main menu
