Match Reports Saturday 6th August 2005 Surrey Championship: Dulwich (272 all out) beat Banstead (234 all out) by 38 runs In a see sawing match Dulwich recovered well to beat bottom club Banstead by 38 runs to record their fifth win of the season. Despite posting 272 runs, the Dulwich target did not seem secure until the Banstead third wicket fell and the last eight wickets were cleaned up for 57 runs. Put into bat the Dulwich openers batted positively as Brown and Mahey reached 50 in the twelfth over. The Banstead slow left armer, Simon day dismissed both the openers in his first three overs – getting Darryl Brown for 35 and Anil Mahey for 29 to leave Dulwich at 68-2. Skipper Richard Farrow and Jack Lusk consolidated against Day and fellow spinner Matt Spriegel and were still together at the lunch interval on 148-2 off 42 overs. After the break they took their partnership to 130 before Lusk fell to Dan Gale for 68 – his fifth 50 of the season. All rounder, Mark Kelly strode to the wicket and quickly smashed 38 off 23 balls including three sixes in a quick fire partnership of 59 with his skipper. Kelly’s dismissal precipitated a collapse in which the last seven wickets fell for 15 runs as Dulwich chased runs. The Dulwich wickets fell to a mixture of attempted big hits and injudicious running. Richard Farrow was seventh out for 81- his second fifty in three innings. Fifteen year old spinner, Dan Gale was the pick of the Banstead bowlers finishing with 4-37 off ten overs. The Banstead reply started shakily as Kelly removed both openers in his first four overs to reduce them to 21-2. Banstead skipper, Sam Woodward and keeper Danny Pratt set out to repair the damage taking the home side to tea at 96-2 off 32 overs. After tea 62 runs came off the first seven overs until the Dulwich spin twins of Hough and Banerjee slowed down the scoring rate. Banerjee broke through with the score on 177 dismissing Woodward for 81. The former Cambridge University slow left armer and Graeme Hough then worked through the rest of the Banstead batting. Vikram Banerjee took 5-52 off twenty overs to give him his second five wicket haul and nineteen wickets in his first five matches for the club. His bowling partner off spinner, Hough took 2-39 off thirteen overs. The Banstead keeper Pratt made a fighting 71 and his opposite number Eugene Strange made four stumpings and took one catch. As Dulwich celebrated their win, news filtered back from the Dulwich pavilion where a winning draw at home to Banstead seconds guaranteed the Dulwich second team promotion to the Premier Division of the Surrey second elevens.
