Comfortable win for midweek A

Dorset Indoor Cricket League

Sway A 188-3 - West Moors 138-3 - Sway won by 50 runs

 Sway A maintained their 100% league record with a relatively easy win over bottom of the table West Moors.

Sway batted first and never looked in any danger with skipper Steve How looking in particularly good nick, working the ball to the side walls for a constant stream of runs. Hall and How were soon retired back to the hutch taking Atapattu and David Steadman to the crease. The game was halted briefly when a West Moors player tore a hamstring and was forced to withdraw and was replaced by Dapper who had been scoring. Sway continued to accumulated runs with Atapattu retiring. There was a slight blip as Sway looked to accelerate towards a huge total first when Steadman ran out Dave Marshall for a golden - with Marshall's stomach upset he was guaranteed some runs in any event; and then Bennet who had been clattering the ball drove into the ceiling. Hall returned to bring up an unbeaten 50 and although How was stumped for 30, Atty returned to join Hall and to see Sway through to 188-3.

In reply West Moors were never really in the hunt albeit they batted well. Atty started with a couple of typically tight overs without getting any joy, West Moors were always behind the pace, despite Sway only managing to take 3 wickets - two hit ceilings off Hall and Marshall and a fine slow ball bowled from Steadman.
