Wolves wait on bowler Bahutule

Wolverhampton captain Simon Lycett reckons his side must learn to cope without star bowler Sairaj Bahutule as they continue to wait for the Indian's arrival.

Brewood snatched the Staffs Club Cricket Championship from under the noses of Beacon as star all-rounder Chris Pearce hit 130 runs and bagged a five-wicket haul.

The spinner, who led the Danescourt attack last summer, has signed up to return for a second season.

But Bahutule is not scheduled to arrive in England until the end of May and Lycett insists Wolverhampton must press on without him.

The skipper said: "He is a big loss to us at this time of the season, but we are confident that we can pull together."
