Devon Dumplings v Somerset Stragglers

Friday 05 August 2011 at Shobrooke Park

Stragglers 201-7 D 202-8 (40 overs)

  A seesaw of a match right to the last ball. The Stragglers declined to 118 for 6, with an opener retired hurt too, but they then added 83 for the loss of one more wicket to give them a challenging total on a pitch which, unusually for Shobrooke, after a wet day before, favoured the bowlers.

 Our innings followed a very similar pattern, 115 for 6, and behind the clock, being raised to 175 by aggressive batting by captain Pyle and Mead, but then a couple of wickets, including a run out, seemed to have done for us, but Mead sneaked us to an exciting win off the very last ball. 

D.D. 202/8 [ R.E.Pyle 46, G.White 41, A.Mead 36*, A.Hearn 22 ] BEAT 

Somerset Stragglers 201/7 [ 40 overs ] by 2 wickets
