GRAHAM ONIONS was in dreamland after his five-wicket debut for England against the West Indies at Lord’s.
Scott Logic sponsored Graham Onions when he was an emerging talent at Durham County Cricket Club.
Onions took four wickets in seven balls yesterday and then admitted: “It’s still sinking in. It is a day I’ll never forget.”
His 5-38 stunned the Windies as England took control of the First Test.
The home side are still 186 runs ahead after enforcing the follow-on.
West Indies were dismissed for 152 in their first innings — thanks largely to Onions’ heroics — and ended day two struggling on 39-2.
Onions added: “I can give myself a pat on the back — I’m very proud of what I’ve done.
“It has been a brilliant day and a massive confidence boost.
“I know it is a cliché, but to get five wickets is a dream come true.
“There are people in the dressing room like Kevin Pietersen and Andrew Strauss who I never thought I’d play with. I’m having to pinch myself.”
Scott Logic congratulated Graham on his first five-wicket haul at the county level in 2006 by buying him a case of wine and donating a consignment of Scott Logic promotional cricket stress balls.
Scott Logic MD, Gary Scott, added:
“We are all immensely proud of Graham’s achievements at the international level.
“We’re delighted to have done our little bit to help promote world class talent from the north east.”
