CRIK:Aussie allrounders shine in English county title drive

Fergus O'Neill, an allround talent still knocking at the door of selection for Australia, is continuing to do his considerable best to help Nottinghamshire retain their county championship title in England.

And while the Victorian prospect was delivering again with both bat and ball for the champs against leaders Essex at Chelmsford on Saturday, incumbent Test allrounder Beau Webster was impressing in similar fashion in Warwickshire's title charge.

O'Neill only had a short time to impress at Trent Bridge last year but his early-season stay in Nottingham proved hugely significant as his contributions helped them lift the title for the first time in 15 years.

This season, the 25-year-old Melburnian has played five first-class matches and his efforts have proved even more impressive, as he's averaging 57 with the bat and 17.34 with the ball, the best by any bowler who's delivered 75 overs or more in the championship's first division.
