Ray Collett writes: Missing six players from their regular team, Worcestershire were outgraded on every board. They paid the price and were crushed. Worcestershire's only point came from the last game to finish where Besedin's raking bishop pair dominated his opponent's knight and bishop in a rook and minor piece ending.
