Hide AdMorpeth’s batters soon polished off the necessary runs, reaching 21 in just 4.3 overs to give Morpeth a 10 wicket victory.
Unsurprisingly, Senior’s figures earned him a place on the Northumberland bowling honours board, and the national honours board.
The BBC’s Test Match Special team posted on their Facebook page: “Look at these figures! Have you ever seen better?”
Speaking to Stumps, Umps and Beer Pumps after the match, Senior said he can’t remember much about the 10th wicket. He said: “As soon as the catch was taken it was a complete blur.”
He added: “It was a pinch me moment”.
