Devon Dumplings v Denstone Wanderers

Friday 18 July 2014 at Knightshayes

Denstone 196-7 DD 200-9 (35overs)

The match was played over 35 overs per side as Heathcoat had a T20 match arranged for the evening. The start was delayed also by pitch preparation, some confusion within the host club caused by internal communication failures and the delay in the arrival of the Wanderers. Perhaps they had wandered off course? In any event Dumplings won the toss and inserted the opposition. After 6.4 overs Wanderers were 3-47 before being rescued by Phillips (101) and Howitt (99) scoring 129 in the next 15 overs. Howitt and Morgan put on another rapid 82 runs before Howitt was dismissed lbw by D Jolliffe one run short of a deserved century. 

For 8 overs the Dumplings reply went well with A Ramcharran and N Prell making 59 for the first wicket. The next partnership of note was for the 8th wicket where D Takle and T Radley added 46 in 9 overs. Too little and too late in response to Wanderers excellent batting performance.

 D.D. 200-9 (35 overs. T Radley 38, N Prell 28, P Anning 26, D Takle 24) LOST to Denstone Wanderers 296-7 (35 overs. D Harrinarine 2-28, D Jolliffe 2-47, P Anning 2-51) by 96 runs.
