Devon Dumplings v Strollers

Monday 08 August 2011 at Exeter County

DD 217 ao Strollers 165 ao

  Our innings was built round Still’s admirable 85 in 92 balls, with useful help from four others, but after 157 for 3 we were all out for only 60 more, in the 49th over, sooner than the captain would have wished. 

This left the visitors a possible 56 overs, and at 141 for 3 in 33 it looked a doddle for them, but a brilliant run out of an opener who had made 87 in 61 balls precipitated an even worse collapse than ours, their seven remaining wickets tumbling for a mere 24 more runs, mostly to Still, and we coasted home with 15 of the final 20 overs left.

 D.D. 217 [ C.Still 85, K.Barlow 25, S.Bourke 22, G.Lammonby 21 ] BEAT

 Strollers 165 [ Still 4-28, Q.Waters 3-49 ] by 52 runs
