Devon Dumplings v O Plymouthians
Friday 27 July 2012 at college
DD 266-5 OPs 220 ao
Sadly no cotemporaneous report of this third Dumplings fixture in three days was received for this match. It is notable for the only double century partnership of the year (exactly 200), coincidentally made between two players, Barends and Barr, who both made exactly 100 before retiring. This is unique in Dumplings history!
Old Plymouthians replied well with their number 3 S. Luffman making 109 from 112 balls before being bowled by Barr. Only two other OPs made double figures and with Barr taking 4- 32, a run out and the other five bowlers taking one apiece they subsided from a hopeful 142/5 to 220 all out. I think it safe to suggest that Chris Barr was man of the match!
D.D. 266/5 (B. Barends 100 retired out, C. Barr 100 retired out, Extras 26) BEAT Old Plymouthians 220 (C. Barr 4-32) by 46 runs
