Devon Dumplings v Kelly College

Wednesday 20 June 2012 at School

DD 204-6 Kelly 35-2 Match Abandoned

 After 2 days of sunshine the wicket at Kelly was hard and dry. However, the forecast was for rain coming in to West Devon during the afternoon. Kelly won the toss and chose to field. Despite some fairly wayward bowling, the Dumplings never really took control, but extras kept the scoreboard ticking over. Jamie Stephens and Steve Cockram gradually took the initiative but it was our Aussie pair who really accelerated, adding 58 in just 6 overs. This made for a tea time declaration on 204 for 6.

 The Dumplings took the field with storm clouds gathering and rain already falling. James McGahey immediately made things difficult for the Kelly batsmen and he and Freddy Frost had a wicket each by the time the umpires decided that the only winner was to be the weather. At the abandonment Kelly were on 35 for 2 after 9 overs. 

D.D. 204/6 (J. Stephens 36, J. Bryant 47*, C. Barr 30*) play ABANDONED for rain with Kelly College 35/2
