Following on from his 174 not out in the win over Shropshire, brilliant Bixby was at it again as North Wales O50s defeated Wales Seconds at St Asaph.
The sun was shining again as North Wales prepared to take on their Cricket Wales rivals and home skipper Jon Eccles opted to make first use of the Elwy Grove Park batting track.
Eccles and Bixby took to the crease, keen to get North Wales off to a good start. However, tight bowling from Cricket Wales restricted the runs and when Eccles was out, the score was 31 from 13 overs. Duane Williams looked solid before being dismissed for 10 with the score on 56 from 20 overs.
At this stage, Cricket Wales were in control, however once Bixby had played himself in, he was unstoppable. He began to hit the ball to all parts of the ground, well supported by Stewart Williams (40), Jonathon Lloyd (38) and Grant Peisley (17 not out).
Like a well oiled batting machine, Bixby raced to his second century in two weeks and then kept going to finish on 140 not out as North Wales finished on 276 for four from their 45 overs.
It was crucial that North Wales contained their opponents in the early overs of their response.
A combination of a left-right handed opening pair and some aggressive hitting allowed Cricket Wales to get off to a decent start, until Gareth Williams claimed the first wicket, well caught by Stewart Williams with the score on 36 from only six overs.
North Wales pegged the scoring back and when Chris Boden claimed the next wicket, this time well caught by Jonathon Lloyd, the score was 77 from 18 overs and the hosts felt in control.
The bowling and fielding was much better than in previous weeks and North Wales took wickets on a regular basis with all the bowlers chipping in.
A great catch by Peisley in the deep, plus two stumpings and a catch by wicketkeeper Gower helped the cause and Cricket Wales were all out for exactly 200 after 40 overs.
Gareth Thomas (pictured) took two for 29 and Jonathon Lloyd bagged two for 19, while the pick of the bowlers was Stewart Williams (4-34).
