Cornwall Away

| Satnav took Devon to a housing estate which has appeared since we last had visited St Austell. It was another glorious summer’s day with Matt Skeemer leading the side. Cornwall won the toss and not to the displeasure of the visitors fielded. The captain, who had been on the road all week visiting Leamington and helping to draw a high scoring game against Somerset seventeens fell early. Dan Pyle gave a chance first ball, hit two fours and was back up the steep steps leaving Devon on 19-2 in the sixth over. Toby Codd and Reid Mawdsley added twenty when Codd departed. Gater, who had flown into the UK in the early hours, joined Mawdsley and the pair put on forty in as many minutes. . At the half way stage Devon were in difficulty on 85-5 as Mawdsley fell for thirty-six. He had been at the crease for ten minutes over the hour and had faced fifty-three balls. The sixth wicket took Devon into three figures putting on sixteen when Thomas was out. Seb Ansley and Jamie Lee took Devon up to 116 and Goddey and Lee to an insufficient 132-8 off forty-one overs. Fortunately the Plympton pairing of Jamie Lee and Todd Rossouw shared in the best partnership of the innings putting on a match winning 54 for the ninth wicket. It took thirty-three minutes and the pair faced fifty-nine balls. Jamie Lee was out off the last ball of the final over off which he had added ten runs to his final product of thirty-seven. Rossouw’s contribution of eleven had been equally vital as they had given their bowlers something to bowl at -186-9.
Cornwall kept loosing wickets in clusters, two on twenty-two, two on 74/75, three on 82 and two on 127/129. This created pressure on their batsman which was increased by a fine fielding and bowling performance from Devon. Toby Codd took 3-24 off ten, Thomas 2-20, Goodey 1-26, Lee 1-11, Drew 1-10, Skeemer 2-19 and Rossouw 1-16. An excellent result. |
