DODGERS VS ORR

CHISWICK
TUESDAY 16 JULY 6PM
20 OVER GAME

RESULT: DODGERS 102-5 BEAT ORR 54 ALL OUT BY 48 RUNS

REPORT

Dodgers easily won a low scoring game on a slow low pitch mainly due to a decent knock by Mc BARRON (34) and some excellent bowling (again) by BENN (3-19), well backed up by LEACH (3-13) and POPE (2-5)

CARR won the toss and DODGERS batted. Mc BARRON and WESTHEAD opened the batting. Mc BARRON was not at his best (but lets face it his less than best is best than manys best) but ground out a score. WESTHEAD hit one sublime pull but was frustrated at not being able to score for well-hit shots through the off-side that found fielders. In the 9th over after a partnership of 41 WESTHEAD departed when having made 11 to Mc Barrons 21, trying to force the pace, he was run out (not for the first time this season) after having been sent back by Mc BARRON. PRIEST next in was not in his usual form and departed to a catch for 6. COOPER hit one four before departing for 12. CARR was rusty initially but had a late spurt with one glorious straight drive for 4 which went like a rocket. If only he could hit it so hard all the time when he hits it hard my it stays hit! Mc BARRON was out for 34 with the score at 3-67 in the 15TH over. DODGERS finally totalled 102-5 off the 20 overs with CARR 12 not out and HILARY 6 not out. There were a total of 17 extras of which 15 wides. The going had been tough for the batsmen throughout the innings. Would 102 be enough?

When ORR batted it soon became clear that 102 was more than enough. Wickets fell steadily from the off with BENN bowling WARING for a duck and OMAR for one. SIMON bowled EVANS for 4. With the opening bowlers off ORR might have thought they would have some respite but all the other bowlers quickly got in the wickets too. LEACH was particularly impressive with 3-9 off 3 , HAWTIN took 1-4 off 2 and POPE took 2-5 off 2. POPE really has been a revelation this season. Only HILARY remained wicketless but with only a miserly 3 runs off his 3 overs he made a big contribution. For ORR only GILES with 26 got going. ORR were all out after 18 overs and never in the game.
