Watch: Teen fast bowling sensation Harry Moore dismissed Prithvi Shaw lbw on first-class debut to become the second-youngest bowler from Derbyshire to take a wicket in the County Championship.
Moore, who has played 10 List A games, made his first-class debut against Nottinghamshire on Monday (September 9), at Northampton. The 6ft 5in quick was entrusted with the new ball and bowled a tidy spell first up, conceding nine runs with three maidens in his first five overs. He returned to dismiss Lewis McManus, which helped Moore enter record books, as he became the second-youngest player from the county to pick up a wicket in the championship.
Moore ended the innings with figures of 1-16 in ten overs as the opposition were bowled out for 219.
In the second innings, he struck with just his third ball, sending back the Northants opener Shaw for two. The ball angled back in and Shaw could not get any contact as it hit him on the front leg, which was eventually ruled out by the umpire.
Who is Harry Moore?
Moore, termed as “One of the most talented cricketers” at the age of 17 by Derbyshire coach Mickey Arthur, made his England under-19s debut against Australia last August.
