Kingdon still waits to get to the Crease

Devon made it two wins by nine wickets in succession as they outplayed Dorset at Exmouth. Nick Watkin won the toss and fielded. In his second over Scott Barlow had Arshad caught by Parker and forty-two overs later the visitors were all out for 77. Tim Piper failed to live up to his slip catching reputation as he shelled two and although Justin Yau had an outstanding game behind the stumps also missed a simple chance. Otherwise it was an excellent team effort with Scott Barlow picking up three wickets for five off seven and a half overs; Jack Porter took 2-9 off ten. His Barton team mate Adam Parker took 3-17 also off ten and new bowling sensation Josh Bess took 2-16 off seven – both bowled. Catches were held by Parker, Benton (2) and Bowser with Yau catching and stumping an opponent. Extras that included 14 wides was the major contributor with 19 with Ridley and Stickland the only batters to reach double figures.

The captain was again the unlucky batsman when he was caught behind for 9 in the opening partnership of 50. Josh Bess (43 – 86m – 58b - 5 fours) and Seb Benton (12 off 33) were again the unbeaten batsmen. Andy Kingdon must be going for some kind of entry into the Guinness Book of Records as after five games this top order batsman has yet to get to the crease, he must be enjoying playing County cricket!
