Dodgers verses Energy Exiles
40 over game
Overton Park (Sutton)
MATCH STATISTICS
Energy Exiles won the toss and batted first
Energy Exiles: 174 all out (Bradshaw 44 - McBarron 3-28, Hillary 3-30, Ferris 3-44)
Dodgers: 129 all out (Priest 45, Adey 18 - Bunton 4-28)
DODGERS LOSE BY 45 RUNS
DODGERS MAN OF THE MATCH - NEIL PRIEST
Dodgers poor run continues. On a very hot and sunny day we were beaten by a much better team, even though we fielded three Superstars, Paul Hogg, Tony Whitrod and Gary Bartholomew.
The Exiles batted very well against some good Dodgers bowling led by Phil McBarron and Henry Hillary. Numerous edges flew through the slip area but no one could hang on. Yours truly rounded off a miserable bowling performance (2 overs for 17) by inexcusably dropping a skier. Overall, it was not a very good fielding performance, and made the bowler’s efforts even more creditable.
Like their batting, all the Exiles looked like good bowlers as well. New opening partnership Neil Priest (man of the match again) and captain Adey put on 82 for the first wicket, unfortunately it took 28 overs. Although trying hard I could not seem to get out and stayed 29 overs for 18. Jim eat your heart out ! Wickets fell regularly after that and we fell some way short as the later batsmen had an impossible task. Off spinner Bunton was the main beneficiary taking four wickets.
On a happier note, it was an enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon, even though I was too knackered to go to work Monday. Finally, many thanks to Jude for doing the scoring (again) and Cianne for fielding for the opposition.
