Dodgers v Kai Dragons 2 July 2019

2019-07-03T12:00:00.002+01:00

Kai Dragons have been one of our strongest opponents in recent years, but Dodgers had brought a powerful batting line-up to this year's fixture as we attempted to avoid a repeat of the 2018 debacle (when we were bowled out for just 53). Dodgers celebrated the return of both Ayman and Damian for their first games of the season, and we welcomed Arpan Ganguli for his debut match playing for us. For the first time in many outings, Dodgers found themselves fielding first - which was slightly awkward, given that we had only 7 players present at the advertised start time of 6pm. The Dragons were kind enough to lend us a couple of fielders until our latecomers arrived and we were up to 10.

Adam and Bilal opened our attack neatly, but the Dragons top order started with intent. We did not have our crack change bowlers with us, and that weakness was soon exposed as John, Arpan, Ayman, Mehboob and Jatinder were all despatched to the four corners of the ground. Our downfall was the bowling of 12 wides @ 2 runs each, which would come back to haunt us: even though we managed to restrict the Dragons a little in the closing stages of their innings, we were still faced with the daunting target of 159 to win. Adam was the pick of the bowling with 4-0-14-1, but the rest of us were unable to keep their batsmen in check.

Mehboob and Tom B started brilliantly for us in the face of the usual tight Dragons bowling, keeping up with the run rate from the get-go and both retiring with 25* in double quick time. Jatinder and Damian took up the chase before the former was bowled by a good 'un and the latter was run out by his own captain. Mike and Ayman ran swiftly between the wickets and kept the scoreboard ticking over nicely, while Adam managed to find the long boundaries impressively with a succession of lusty blows. With 5 overs to go, we needed 50 to win - and we might indeed have got them had it not been for the return of the Dragons' best bowler Basnet, who snapped up three quick wickets and stifled any hope of a late surge. In the end we finished with a highly commendable 147, just 11 runs short of their total. Kai Dragons deserved their victory, but this year at least we departed Chiswick with our heads held high.

Man of the Match votes: Adam 8, Tom B 2

Dodgers 132-3 (Taylor 36*, Dollin 25*, Vijay 25*) beat Kensington Wanderers 107 all out (Vijay 5 wickets, JH 2 wickets)

Scorecard with opposition.
Match report: Matt Taylor
MoM: Vijay 6, Taylor 1

Dodgers with seven men triumphed against the odds for a second time in just over a week.

Playing on the difficult far pitch at Chiswick, Dodgers batted first. Wanderers' rapid opener bowled a series of Jaffas and it looked like it was going to be a short and painful night.

But Dollin and Taylor saw it through to halfway and both retired with 25. With 43 from the first ten, IPL it was not. And when Westhead had fallen first ball and the opener uprooted McBarron's stumps, things looked dicey. But with pace came edges and boundaries, notably when Vijay smashed a full toss for six.

A series of wides, no-balls and some good batting later, the score started to rack up and when Vijay retired, Taylor got another go, Dodgers reaching an unlikely 132.

Suddenly a defendable total, albeit with seven fielders and two kindly loaned from the oppo.

Vijay proved his worth early with wickets and few runs in his first two. Hilary bowled five straight overs and picked up two wickets, with McB and Taylor keeping things tight too. But it was Vijay's second spell that did for the Wanderers, as he notched up a 5-wicket haul in the gloaming. Dodgers won with room to spare against a thoroughly decent opposition, who overlooked our shortage of players most graciously.

Abbey Recreation Ground, South Wimbledon
6.45pm
Fine

Match report: Matt Taylor

Dodgers 83-5 (15 overs, Taylor 24, Hussein 24) beat Superstars 82-9 (15 overs, Palmer 2-15) by 1 run.

Yet another clash with the old foe took a series of bizarre turns and came down to the last ball, where Dodgers triumphed.

The scheduled start time of 6pm came and went with no sign of the groundsman, sole owner of stumps and keys to the changing rooms.

Confusion reigned and Dodgers somehow went from thinking they had 12 players, to actually starting with nine.

Undeterred, the teams finally took to the field at 6.45pm with makeshift stumps at each end made from a batting pad tied to a rucksack. The match was reduced to 15 overs and agreed not to count towards the Ken Block trophy.

An unfamiliar Dodgers side won the toss and batted, but struggled to make headway. More than once the pad and rucksack combo was flattened by the rats' bowlers before groundsman and stumps eventually appeared. Dodgers limped to 83-5, a target requiring less than six an over.

After a short break for prayer by members of both teams; possibly a first for this fixture, Superstars began their chase. Dodgers took the field short but only took it at all courtesy of three guests of Khalid and their two friends.

Sultan produced pace and Palmer made a vital breakthrough with two in two. But a few strong overs and Superstars were ahead of the rate until Taylor ran out Smith with a direct hit. Khalid and Rafi then stepped up with a wicket each and Imtias one more, as the Dodgers chipped away at the Superstars order.

Only 20 runs were needed from the last four overs and 14 off three, when the return of Sultan was crucial. Bowling Plame and conceding only three, it was 11 off two. Imtias held on to a caught and bowled and again only conceded three, setting eight off the last with Taylor left to bowl.

Within moments it was four required from three balls and Singh struck out towards deep square leg. But Sultan was there to take the catch and Dodgers celebrated thinking they had taken the last wicket. Sadly the rats had one more in the hutch. The penultimate ball whistled through the gate into Mike's pads: a dot. Four was required from the final ball, or three to tie. Burki squirted the ball out to long off where Khalid collected and threw in; the batsmen were stranded on two and the game was won by the Dodgers.

Plenty of drama in South Wimbledon; and a ramshackle start reminiscent of Dodgers' early days. But somehow a great game of cricket.

Toss: Won by Buckhurst Hill and elected to Bat first.

Buckhurst Hill 205 for 8 (1 wicket each to Anand, De Bono, Shimoga (NJ), Lewes, Malins & Nash) lost to Dodgers 206 for 2 (Malins 128, Lewes 29 & McBarron 22) by 8 wickets with 17 balls remaining

MOM: Malins 10 and De Bono 1

2015 Dodgers season opener was a successfully outing with an all-round performance with the ball and on the field. An amazing century from the determined Malins with good support from ever reliable McBarron and new comer Lewis.

Malins scored 400 odd runs in 3 games simply superb!

Dodgers v Bengal Troopers, 07.09.14

Hainault Recreation Ground
35 overs (no retirement)
2pm
Sunny and warm

Toss: won by Dodgers, who elected to bat

Dodgers 311 for 5 (Malins 189* of 107 & Ridwan 40* of 27) Lost to Bengal Troopers 312 for 6 (Hasan 2/43 & Ridwan 2/67) in last over

MOM: Malins 8 & Hasan 1

A simply extraordinary game played in late summer sunshine against a very sporting bunch of lads who generously lent us three of their players (and who also deserve our thanks for the excellent picnic tea).

Dan (Malins) opened the batting for Dodgers together with guest opener Hassan, and both soon began to enjoy the true bounce of the artificial pitch, speeding along at 7 an over from the start. Eventually Hassan was caught swinging at a wide one and Guy soon succumbed to a horribly inevitable stumping, while NJ and the other Dan (Saunders) also fell to good catches. Following the dismissal of Captain Carr, our second guest Redwan went out to the middle and began to score with abandon. Yet the story of the afternoon was the incredible knock of Dan M, who proceeded to smash the previous Dodgers record for an individual score by notching up a staggering 189 not out. By the end of the innings Dan was hitting sixes off almost every ball, and at one point could almost have bagged a double ton. His heroics took our total to a record-beating 311 off just 35 overs, and a certain victory.

All certainty is illusion. Incredible though our total was, the ability of Dodgers to lose from totally impregnable positions is more incredible yet. We were tonked to all corners of the field by almost every one of the Bengal Troopers, and badly let down by some decidedly sub-standard fielding as the day wore on. In truth, no one could quite bring themselves to believe that two teams might get more than 300 in the same afternoon, but this was indeed to be our fate. With just 5 needed off the final over, the Troopers won with four balls to spare. The only consolation was that they had played the game in the nicest spirit, and it will be a pleasure to give them a rematch next year.

Toss: Won by Superstars and elected to bowl first

Dodgers 153 for 3 (Hatteea 29* of 21, Shahin 26* of 16 & Shimoga (NJ) 26* of 17) Beat Superstars 124 for 8 (Hanspal 2/17, Palmer 2/25 & Shahin 1/5) by 29 runs

MOM: Shahin 4, Hatteea 3, Shimoga (NJ) 2 & Lindsey 2

Match report by Lee Sr.

The Dodgers rolled up to a somewhat arid-looking Dukes Meadow struggling to deal with a slightly odd situation – playing a dead rubber game against the auld enemy Superstars. Unlike the feeble England “professionals” at the recent FIFA shindig in Brazil, Dodgers proved more than able to stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood and cry God for Hattea, Lindsey and St Carr. A solid, whisper it routine, win meant the Ken Block trophy was claimed 3-0, although like the Australians at recent Ashes series the Dodgers were unable to actually celebrate with the original trophy – rumour has it that curator Barry won’t allow it be removed from its climate-controlled glass case in the bowels of Great Minster House. At least until Superstars win it back.

The opposition, seeking a change of fortune, opted to offer Dodgers first use on a good track with a sporty outfield, full of the kind of unusual and characterful bounce so absent from the soulless, flat swards of Lords, Old Trafford and Trent Bridge. Mohan immediately got stuck in, displaying his usual aggression. Dollin was a little more circumspect before he succumbed to Singh. After Mohan followed him, caught off a steepler, the strong middle-order powered Dodgers on with Hatteea and Shahin both retiring after a blaze of shots. Hatteea in particular demonstrated footwork so nifty that a place steering an aging former soap star around the Strictly Coming Dancing ballroom must be virtually in the bag. Shimoga (NJ) and Lindsey then put together a good partnership, albeit one disappointingly short of acrimonious running between the wickets. Two run outs finished things off; Hanspal caught short going for a cheeky second and Lindsey run out after trying to decline a run off the last ball.

Being so close to red ink would have left certain members of the Dodgers squad sobbing uncontrollably in the corner but not Lindsey, who recovered quickly to nip a threatening opening in the bud with a tidy stumping off Palmer, shortly after Hanspal had castled Spencer with a good ‘un. Two more wickets fell quickly as Hanspal repeated the same trick and Palmer and Lindsey recombined, the latter taking a smart catch. Superstars looked ENGLAND CRICKET TEAM CLICHÉ ALERT well behind the 8-ball before Kumar and Dodgers very own Anand combined to get them back in the game with some beefy smites. When both retired, Dodgers were able to reapply the brakes, first through Shimoga (NJ) and then through Lee and Shahin, the latter proving almost unplayable in the gathering gloom. With the run rate accelerating through unlikely, past improbable to finally come to rest at impossible Cap’n Carr finally came to the party and snaffled a wicket of the last ball, Dollin clinging onto one that steepled up a good six or seven feet into the night sky.

With a solid 29 run margin in the bag, Dodgers retired to the cornucopia of delights offered by the Kings School Bar to celebrate a rare clean sweep and to observe the real heroes of the day – the players on pitch C who were still going despite the fact it was not so much gloomy as night-time. Rumours that the end of the game was signalled by the umpire with the call “Over and Bedtime” are as yet unsubstantiated.

Match report by McB:

An excellent win by Dodgers against strong opposition comprising 11 Asian regular weekend cricketers. Banished to the graveyard pitch D, Capt Carr won the toss and elected to bat. Openers Dollin and McB struggled to lay bat on ball against an opening swing bowling attack exploiting the rather uneven playing surface (the first 3 overs were maidens but no chuntering was to be heard from NJ). Gradually though Dollin found his feet and the tempo picked up and the score progressed beyond 50 at a respectable rate. The partnership was ended when McB was rather unluckily dismissed – drilling a non-trademark uppish drive straight at the cover fielder who facing a choice of catching the ball or decapitation opted for the former (unusually this was the only one of 9 Dodgers dismissals not clean bowled). During his innings McB passed the milestone of 7000 career Dodgers runs (DVD gift box sets of all his innings will be sent to Hatteea and Lee for them to enjoy over the long winter months). Dollin was dismissed just short of a well deserved 50 (cleaned up by a good very brisk nip-backer). A number of other Dodgers batters got half starts but it was left to Vijay to provide the main contribution and momentum to the second half of the innings – a well crafted innings of 41 including a towering six over long-on. With Extras contributing usefully a score of 201 for 9 off 35 overs was considered to be a good effort – the consensus being it was around 20 above par given the very long boundaries and uneven nature of the pitch.

Prem and NJ who have both played for the oppo were adamant that they were a stronger bowling than batting unit so Dodgers took to the field (after a sumptuous vegetarian sandwich buffet) with a degree of confidence and optimism. Excellent opening bowling from Anis and Vijay put the brakes on from the word go and the run rate climbed quickly. After one of the opening bats retired hurt with a muscle tear, Dodgers claimed wickets at regular intervals including a quite stunning run out of the remaining opener by Prem with a direct hit from the boundary. With half the side dismissed and the run rate climbing towards 10 an over it seemed Dodgers were home and hosed. But some lapses in both bowling and fielding and some controversial partial umpiring in respect of wides (the worst calls including some well-pitched away swingers from Prem and a ball from McB that missed leg stump by a coat of varnish) saw a shift in momentum as well as some acrimonious scenes between various players (think Shakoor Rana and Mike Gatting). A Dodgers loss would have been unjust and some excellent death bowling from NJ and Habib meant 16 were needed off the final over with 1 wicket remaining – the first ball was despatched down the throat of Vijay who took a well judged catch at long-off to seal the victory. Special mention must go to NJ who took another 4 wickets and is closing in on an astonishing 50 wickets for the season (having passed the 100 Dodgers wickets career milestone last week).

Dodgers v Tilberg Regents, 30.07.14

2014-08-04T20:58:00.001+01:00

Belair Park
20 overs (25 retirement, 2 runs for wide/no ball and no extra ball except last over)
6pm
Bright & Sunny

Toss: Dodgers only had 6 to start with so by agreement batted first

Dodgers 158 for 4 (Shimoga (NJ) 28* of 18, Dollin 27* of 23 & Carr 19* of 19) Beat Tilberg regents 142 for 6 (Sultan 2/14, Shimoga (NJ) 1/10 & Khalid 1/30) of 19 & Khalid 26* of 31) by 1 run

MOM: Shimoga (NJ) 5, Carr 2, Khalid 2, Sultan 1 & Dollin 1

Dodgers were only 6 to start with at 6pm as 5 players delayed few working late and few coming from another afternoon game from Malden. Finally had our 11 by 7pm, we did well in getting 11 after 4 dropouts on the day, thanks to Dollin.

By agreement Dodgers batted first on an unpredictable Belair Park wicket with the small boundaries and put up a decent score. Tilberg started very strongly reaching 70 in 8 overs, thought they would finish the game in 15th overs. Then the main bowlers Shimoga (NJ) & Sultan entered and runs started drying up, in the end they needed 30 runs of 4 overs and managed to get only 14 runs. Dodgers needed this winning boost after the shambles in Sunday & Tuesday games.

MOM: Shahin 10 & Hanspal 1

Another afternoon loss for Dodgers...apart from the opening batsmen everyone played like a T20 game and failed to make as many runs as we did on Thursday. Suppose we are all exited about no retirement and make some big runs. Green Sox fielded really well and stopped at least 30 runs and we were that many short and never in that game. Congratulations to Shahin on his hat-trick but it came very late only when 6 runs needed to win of 5 overs.

Toss: Won by Blue Marlins and put Dodgers to bat first

Dodgers 168 for 6 (Shimoga (NJ) 33* of 25, Anand 30* of 23 & Khalid 29 of 21) beat Blue Marlins 114 for 10 (Shimoga (NJ) 3/17, Hilary 3/22, Anand 2/20 & Shahin 2/24) by 54 runs

MOM: Hilary 5, Anand 3 & Shimoga (NJ) 2

This was a great game of cricket, played in the best competitive spirit, that turned out in the end to be a comprehensive win for us over a Blue Marlins side bristling with talent. Once again, the fleeting return of distant ex-pat Simon Cousins to the Dodgers ranks was enough to catapult us to a famous victory.

The Marlins' tactic of putting Dodgers in to bat seemed to have paid off early on when Chris, Ravi and Shahin all fell to high quality pace bowling. To lose three such batsmen with just 17 on the board looked ominous, but the run rate was high from the start and Mike held his ground to steady the ship. The arrival of Vijay at the crease turned the innings in our favour, as he matched stout defensive shots with spectacular boundaries, quickly reaching the retirement score of 30. Khalid and NJ took on where Vijay had left off, scoring freely and running well between the wickets. By the time John and Simon came in to finish off the innings (both scoring at a strike rate of over 170 for their cameo performances) the damage had already been done. We posted a total of 168, our highest of the season, against a side packed with excellent bowlers.

Victory was by no means assured, however, as the Marlins were clearly all able batsmen and the outfield was lightning fast. It would require disciplined bowling to keep them below our total - and Simon supplied exactly this to open our attack. John found the ball swinging nicely from the other end and picked up three early wickets before Vijay and NJ pinned the batsmen back, capturing five more between them. Shahin mesmerised the tail with his mix of leg spin and flippers, bagging a brace of wickets for his own tally, and we were home with over 50 runs to spare. No report would be complete, however, without special mention of the stupendous one-handed catch taken behind the stumps by Mike off Vijay, a peach which will remain in the memory for a good while to come.

All in all, a very good comeback after the loss of the afternoon game against the Marlins at the beginning of the season. The Dodgers summer goes from strength to strength!
