Last update on. From the section CricketThe Hundred, Lord's Northern Superchargers 155-2 (100 balls), Willey 81*(40), Brook 28 (24); Crane 1-19 and Nabi 1-19 London Spirit 92-2 (100 balls); Morgan 27 (22); Raine 3-6, Willey 2-9 Superchargers win with 63 runs Scorecard TableDavid Willey's exceptional hitting led Northern Superchargers' crushing win over London Spirit in men's Hundred by 63 runs.Willey hit 81 out of 45 balls, the highest score in the men's tournament. It was a spectacular display of six-hitting that included one big hit that flew out at Lord's.In a stunning individual performance, he propelled his team to 155-3. He then took two wickets in the 10th ball of Spirit's reply.Harry Brook also made a huge six into the top tier at Lord's pavilion. He pulled off a stunning flying catch to dismiss Adam Rossington, Willey's first victim.After that, spirit crumbled and the score was 92-9. This was a terrible night for Eoin Morgan's England side.This means that Spirit remains without a win in this tournament, with four losses and a washout after five games.Superchargers leap from seventh to third place in the table."Up there with the largest this ground has ever seen" - Willey's Lord’s AssaultWilley, England's all-rounder, hit six sixes in total. This drew gasps from the crowd when the ball flew off bat.His incredible pull shot over Blake Cullen, a 19-year old fast bowler, was the most impressive. It cleared the Mound Stand at Cricket's most famous stadium.Lydia Greenway, a former England batter, said that "there is a lot history at Lord's but it has to be up there avec one of the largest sixes this ground's ever seen." "That is amazing."Here's how Willey hit his sixes. He had only scored six runs in three of his previous innings.Ball 37: Willey takes a Cullen bouncer out in front of him, but he is not in complete control. The ball then goes into the first row.Ball 53: This is the best! Willey watches Mohammad Nabi, a spinner who takes a long time to complete a task.Ball 72: Willey’s largest six. Wow! What a smash! Henry Moeran, BBC commentator, screams as Willey grabs Cullen from the ground.Ball 91: Willey isn't able to time the ball properly but his power sees a fullball, again bowled long-off by Cullen.Ball 98: Another powerful, clean hit by a Mohammad Amir who is executing a full toss 82m above the leg side.Ball 99: Even bigger! Amir gives us another full toss. Similar result. Willey again targets Amir's leg side and inflicts more misery.What's wrong with Morgan's spirit, you ask?This was the largest margin of victory in The Hundred's history in terms of runs. Morgan finished with 27 runs, but his team, although chasing a large total, fell short.Spirit, coached and managed by Shane Warne are at the bottom of the table, the only men's team without a win.Warne is currently in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19. He described their defeats against Southern Brave, Trent Rockets and their previous two games, games where they were strong favourites at some points, as "embarrassing" and added that "we've just given away two wins".After this sad defeat, he will not be happier.They are currently hurt by the loss to England Test duty of their premier batters, Zak Crowley and Dan Lawrence. No other players will be able to replace them.Morgan struggles for form, and big names aren't performing.Former Pakistan paceman Amir scored 40 runs against Superchargers in 20 balls. He has conceded 132 runs from 77 balls, with only three wickets.Mohammad Nabi from Afghanistan, another of their overseas players, averages nine runs with the bat over four innings.Morgan stated, "Every single game except tonight has been close to the wire. So we have had our chance,""We have potentially given results to both sides, rather that making them earn them."
