Devon Dumplings v O Broxfordians

Thursday 03 September 2015 at Sidmouth

DD 282 Old B's 165ao (40 overs)

 The final match of 2015 had Dumplings batting first in the 40 over a side match. Captain Graham White tried a new opener, Jake Choules, perhaps because of his winning last ball 4 against Arden Taverners, and he took the shine off with 6 in 22 balls! Nevertheless Dumplings were at 2-30 after 7 overs when Kobi Griggs (178) and Graham White (14) came together and added 95 runs in 11 overs. Griggs continued “both prettily and brutally” in partnerships of 39 with John Allen (21) and 68 with Graham Munday (32) before he was dismissed “retired out” with the score on 255. Munday and Paul Berman (5*) added 25 for the 9th wicket before Bernie Wilson (0) was out (only for the second time in the season) off the last ball of the 40 overs! 

OBs openers added 30 in their first five overs before wickets fell frequently taking them to 95 for 6. Their 7th wicket partnership of 49 was their best by far with the last three wickets adding only 21 runs leaving them 117 runs short of their target. The wickets were spread around the six bowlers used with 2 each for Munday and Joel Murphy, 3 for Wilson and 1 each for Berman, Choules and Allen. A good solid win based upon the highest innings of the year!
