Cullen 2-19 London Spirit won with six runs Scorecard.London Spirit beat Manchester Originals to win their first match in the men's Hundred. It was an entertaining match at Old Trafford.Spirit, who had already been out of the competition, posted 142-6. Adam Rossington hit a quickfire 46 balls from 29 balls. Captain Eoin Morgan was unbeaten with 22 deliveries.Originals responded by reeling at 21-3, but Colin Ackermann's 53 balls off 40 balls led the way for home's recovery.Spirit debutant Brad Wheal was required to take nine deliveries from five. He did so with some great death bowling.Originals are still fifth on the table, one point behind the top-three qualification spots, while Spirit is still bottom despite their win.Youngsters shine for SpiritSpirit released Wheal from the pressure and gave him a chance to win.His four wickets included dangerous opener Phil Salt, and top-scorer Ackermann.Even more impressive was his ability bowl dots balls. Originals couldn't score from 14 out of 19 deliveries.Another young Spirit seamer also had a memorable day.Blake Cullen's 1-32 figures may not be impressive on paper, but the 19 year-old showed great maturity in a fierce battle against Originals' Carlos Brathwaite.Cullen, who had been dismissed for three sixes by West Indian batsmen, repaid his captain's faith by dismissing the big-hitting bowler when Originals only needed 11 balls.Although this inaugural season of The Hundred was a disappointment for Spirit, there are many positives that will help this young side continue to grow for next year.Enjoy good timesMatt Parkinson is a great leg-spinner, as demonstrated by his 2-18-off 20 deliveries. However, he is not the first name that comes to your mind when you think of the best fielders in the game.The whole of Old Trafford was up when he leapt in the air at fine-leg and caught a one-handed catch at full stretching.Parkinson couldn't believe it either.Bolton-born, the 24-year-old ran aimlessly across the field, trying desperately to avoid his team-mates. He also whirled his arm.Is it the catch of the tournament? It could be.The celebration of the tournament? Imran Tahir, the hat-trick-taking hero of Birmingham Phoenix, may have something to share about it.Rocket LockieWhat do a cheetah and a moderate hurricane have in common? They all run slower than Lockie Ferguson, Originals bowler.The New Zealander blasted the fastest 20-ball ball three times during his spell.His fastest delivery was 93.7 miles. Mohammad Nabi's middle stump was found with a ball reaching 93.1 miles an hour.Ferguson has two more games left so don't be surprised that he continues to break his own record.
