Old Edwardians Cricket Club
Studley v Old Edwardians
West Midlands 3rd XI League
Away, 7 July 2001
Result: Old Edwardians 3rd XI won by 132 runs
Old Edwardians batted solidly enabling them to declare after 47 overs on 202
for 3 giving themselves 53 overs to dismiss Studley. The backbone of the
batting was a fine innings of 65 from Chris Wallis and a patiently made 45 from
Anthony Christopher.
The 'Silver Fox' David Dallaway weighed in with another unbeaten innings
at the end of 32 to raise the score to its final tally. Despite a solid
start which saw Studley reach 40-1 after 11 overs, the introduction of the
wily Dallaway and the equally difficult spin of Terry Dean saw the runs dry up
and the wickets fall. Studley subsided to 70 all out with Dean taking 2 wickets
for 4 runs from 10 overs. Dallaway found another wicket that suited his style
of bowling and ended up with 6 for 32.
This result keeps the Old Edwardians firmly in the top three of the league.
