Hollingsworth breaks Bears record with double ton
Hollingsworth struck an unbeaten 212 (27 x 4, 5 x 6) as Warwickshire posted 408 for three from their 30 overs, eclipsing Bears’ previous highest individual score of 178, scored by Sugg himself.
“Playing alongside and being out in the middle when a batsman is hitting it as sweetly as Justin is just incredible,” said Sugg, who is aiming to lead Warwickshire to a fourth successive BBS Heindrich Swanepoel Primary Club Cup.

“Being the previous record-holder, I can honestly say there is no player who more deserves to hold that record now.
“At 17 years of age, this guy has broken records left, right and centre - both domestically and internationally.
“He has a bright future, and I feel today was just the beginning of something special in this young man’s career.”
