Devon Dumplings v Wye Rustics

Monday 06 July 2015 at Exeter County

Wye 199ao DD184ao

 Effectively this close game was won by Rustics last two partnerships adding 51 runs. Sadly Dumplings could only manage 5 in the same position! Dumplings had bowled tidily and shared the wickets between them. Only Charlie Squire at 7 for Rustics took control with a run-a-minute 64. Even so the total appeared makeable at 200 to win.

 Dumplings’ top four made 15 between them but Kobi Griggs (52) and Captain Richard Pyle (57) aided by Sam Ewen (18) took the score to 183 before Pyle was 9th out. That was effectively that. It should be noted that Rustic’s opening bowlers between them bowled 35.3 overs, 10 maidens, 115 runs for all 10 wickets!
