Emerging Warriors (CricketEurope)
MCC continued their Northern Ireland tour with an 18-run win against a young Emerging Warriors squad at Ardmore. Evan Williams top-scored with an entertaining 35-ball 62 (6 fours, 4 sixes) sharing an eighth wicket stand of 61 with David Miller that rescued their side from a precarious 150 for seven. There were runs too for James Hunter (33) , Ruairi Willis (30) and Jonathan Steele (26) in a total of 228 for nine, with three wickets apiece for Ryan Nolan and Bobby Brolly. Nolan (49) and Brolly (47) were also in the runs for the Warriors, but they finished on 210 - three wickets each for Harry Dyer and Ruairi Willis, and two for Ehtesham Ahmed. MCC finish the week on Friday with a match against the NCU Under 17s at Stormont.

Max O'Dowd: The evolution to a process driven approach
Max O'Dowd is an opening batsman for the Netherlands who has quietly gone about fashioning a strong record across all three formats. He grabbed the headlines earlier this year when he guided the Dutch home in a monstrous chase of 370 against Scotland in an ODI in Dundee. Opening the innings, he made an unbeaten 158 from just 130 balls to take his team to victory with four balls remaining and four wickets in hand.
