Dulwich 1st XI vs. Wimbledon
Surrey Championship: Dulwich (187-6) lost
to Wimbledon (190 -4 wickets) by six wickets
Injury ravaged Dulwich are still searching for that second win
as they suffered their sixth defeat in the first seven games in
the Surrey Championship Premier League.
Wimbledon defeated Dulwich by six wickets in a game that was
always dominated by the home side. Dulwich were asked to bat on
a green wicket and soon lost their first three wickets for only
18 runs. Raj Tulsiani and Daryl Brown both made 5 and the prolific
Jack Lusk was dismissed without scoring. Richard Farrow joined
Anil Mahey in a stand of 28 for the 4 th wicket before Mahey was
out for 19 to be quickly followed by Mark Kelly and Stuart Ferguson.
The Wimbledon quickie Will Hantam had done the early damage taking
4-37 off 12 overs in his first spell.
Dulwich went into lunch precariously placed on 68-6 off 36 overs
however skipper Farrow and Adam McDonagh took the game to Wimbledon
with a partnership of 54 for the seventh wicket. Farrow’s
dismissal at 116 for a watchful 43 brought in Dave Burton who joined
McDonagh in a stand of 61 in just over 12 overs for the eighth
wicket. McDonagh was eventually dismissed for 57 and Burton finished
with 36 not out in a total of 187-8 off 66 overs.
Wimbledon started their reply by scoring at 6 an over against
a mixture of attacking fields, wayward bowling and poor fielding
despite the dismissal of former Nottinghamshire batsman Jon Wileman
for 18. John Smallridge and Mike Emslie took the home side into
tea at 75 -1 off 15 overs. Dulwich were again looking down the
barrel but this time there was to be no escape as the pair took
the score to 186.
Dave Burton managed to dismiss Smallridge for 77 and leg spinner
Mahey followed up by getting Emslie for 80 and Jarvis the next
ball for a duck giving Wimbledon a victory by six wickets off only
31 overs. Of the Dulwich attack, only all- rounder Adam McDonagh
conceding 17 off five overs went for less than four an over. The
Premiership new boys had been outplayed.
