Evening Post Cricketer of the Week
The Evening Post cricketer of the week is Bristol West Indians' Jack Baber, who scored a stunning 194 as his side dominated against Downend.
Baber's 194 came from 105 balls and included 21 fours and 12 sixes as the West Indians won their West of England Premier Two 2nd XI match by a staggering 359 runs.

Baber and Ricardo Williams (95 from 93 balls) put on 255 for the second wicket as the West Indians reached a club record 465-6 from 45 overs. They then had Downend all out for 106, with Baber's catch removing opener Mike Lewis (6) off the bowling of skipper Ricardo Robinson to get them off to a flying start.
But it was his batting that stood out, with Baber taking responsibility for his side's innings once fellow opener Owen Johnson had fallen for five.
Captain Robinson said: "We started off pretty slowly and were 55-1 off the first 10 overs – but Jack and Ricardo batted brilliantly. Our guys really had some fun out there."
Baber is the second Bristol West Indians 2nd XI batsman in a fortnight to win the Evening Post bat. Team-mate Johnson's 173 not out against Warminster two weeks ago saw him take the prize.
