DODGERS V DTI
27 MAY 1999
CHISWICK
DODGERS WON BY 24 RUNS
Dodgers: 99-5, 20 Overs (Carr 34 no: Jacobs 20) DTI: 75-5, 20 Overs (Hilary J 2-19)
Match Report: John Carr
An excellent win for a Dodgers team missing one or two "big names" against a DTI team missing one or two players (my thanks to those who fielded for them)!
I won the toss and elected to bat. After a flying start (14 off 2 overs) Phil and Chris almost ground to a halt in the face of some very tight bowling - only 10 more runs came off the next 5 overs and 28 off the next 10. Nevertheless, when the partnership was finally broken in the 12th over we had a useful 42 on the board and 9 wickets in hand for a sustained assault. Unfortunately, while the run rate did then begin to creep up so did the dismissals. At 69 for 4 after 16 we looked to be in trouble. But with some lusty blows from yours truly; some useful runs from Kim and some brilliant running by Graham (who didn't face a ball) we managed to put together another 30 runs off the last 4 overs leaving DTI needing exactly 100 to win.
They never looked like doing it. A very tight opening spell from Kevin and an incisive one from John Hilary who picked up two cheap wickets left DTI with a mountain to climb. And despite Morgan battling away for the whole 20 overs for 45 we won comfortably by 24 runs. Our guest Shaun Birch bowled well and picked up a wicket. And David and Matt reeled off five overs of spin (?!) conceding only 11 runs between them.
A very good all round performance from the Dodgers!
