March Town Cricket

Former overseas star, Steve Seymour, has experienced arguably the best day's cricket of his life - taking five wickets against a touring Sri Lankan side.

The 25-year-old Aussie all-rounder, who played at The Avenue during the 2008 and 2009 seasons, produced a superb 5-52 spell off 10 overs and included the prize scalp of Kumar Sangakkara, as Victoria 2nd Xl skittled out the tourists for 149.

'Skinny' , as he is known in March and Melbourne, now has the wickets of five Test/ODI stars - Upul Tharanga, Lahiru Thirimanne, former Test skipper Sangakkara, Dinesh Chandimal and Newan Kulasekera - in his impressive stats list, as Victoria won by 23 runs in the 50-over match.

Stand-in skipper Tharangaga (26) and Thirimanne (24) put on 46 for the opening wicket in rapid time before Seymour's introduction into the attack brought about their downfall. The True Blues all-rounder also removed Sangakkara (16) and Chandimal (0). Steve had earlier batted at No5 and hit one boundary in his score of 7.

At home, Steve plays club cricket for Prahran, where he often teams up with former Australian Test opener David Hussey, who paid the following tribute on Facebook: "There will definitely be a domestic team interest in the red hot Steve Seymour. The kid is on fire and can play."

In his first season at March, Seymour scored 797 runs and took 53 wickets. The following year he took the same amount of wickets and scored a very impressive 1,360 runs, having moved up the order to open the batting.
