Match of the day. This merits a match report. The others will just be posted.
Dauth XI vs Bennett XI
at CW Oval
1st innings
Rarely has a Cricket Web Oval pitch been so green and rarely has the prospect been so delightful for the bowlers. It was an opportunity that both Rob Dauth and Sean Bennett looked to take hold of, desperately hoping to win the toss and maximize use of the pitch. It was Bennett who won the battle, calling correctly and inserting the Dauth XI on a seamer's paradise.
The benefits were immense. Goughy took until the third over of the innings to breakthrough with the outside edge of Malthus-Howell's bat, then followed up 4 overs later with Camps top-edging a miscued pull stroke. Kennett bowled his Red teammate for 13 a ball later, and the score was 32-3. But it would get far worse in quick time, with things swinging toward the spectacular.
Goughy tore in with 3 wickets in the space of the final 5 balls of his 6th over. The potent threesome of Wilson, Dwyer and Reddlapalli perished to give the Green seamer his 5-for. The debacle of 38-6 could have been worse, had Goughy and Nayak not dropped Stephen Burke in consecutive overs. Indeed, the horrific fielding spread, and following two Scott misses, there were a total of 4 dropped catches in the innings.
Burke prospered slightly from his 3 lives, adding 36 runs for the 9th wicket with Josh Forner (18). He only got as far as 24 though, finally falling to Zac Gelman attempting a bold hook shot. The Dauth XI fell two balls short of the 30th over, all out for a miserable 99.
Dauth XI 99 all out (29.4 overs)
SJ Burke 24, JNE Forner 18; KJ Goughy 5-23, ZE Gelman 2-7

Dauth XI vs Bennett XI
at CW Oval
2nd innings
A chase could hardly seem more straightforward and yet be so thrilling. Having dismissed the Dauth XI for a mere 99 runs, the Bennett XI set about to score 100 for victory, with 50 overs at their disposal. The drama arose from the premise, that the pitch at hand boasted the most devastating seam-bowling conditions seen at Dev League level in CWLand.
The impact was immediate. Two balls into the innings and Liam Camps was on a hattrick. Cloete was squared up by a sharp Camps legcutter and the ball nestled into the hands of Dwyer at 3rd slip. He was followed by Nick Scott a ball later, though caught at fourth slip in his turn.
Still stunned, Rob Malone flashed at Watt and the score read a miserable 2 for 3. And if there was any doubt that the contest was into motion, Camps cleared it up by first removing Jasotharan's offstump, then fooling Young with a slower ball. Brave enough, Zac Gelman responded to the pressure of 21-4 with a bold strike for six. He and Gaurav Nayak appeared to be arresting the situation and carrying the Bennett XI back into control.
It was a moment for spin. Gelman miscued Pickup to the mid-off fielder, but his replacement, Roberts played with confidence and poise alongside the then established Nayak. Dave Richards was proving ineffective and expensive, but turned out the hero, when at 87-6, he bowled Roberts with a clever arm ball.
Still, just 13 runs were needed and with 3 wickets in hand, the Bennett XI looked odds on to get home. The hero to that point, Nayak looked composed and firmly in control. A seering yorker later and the heroics were ended. Wilson bowled a 91mph yorker to demolish Nayak's legstump and leave him sprawling on the ground.
The equation demanded 6 runs and 2 wickets. But it was irrelevant, given the impact of Josh Forner. He completed a team hattrick for the Dauth XI, wrapping up Kennett and McKern with the first two deliveries of the following over. The stunned silence of the crowd soon erupted into celebration at the spectacle which they had just witnessed.
Dauth XI 99 all out (29.4 overs)
SJ Burke 24, JNE Forner 18; KJ Goughy 5-23, ZE Gelman 2-7
Bennett XI 96 all out (22.4 overs)
GN Nayak 32, ZE Gelman 26; LA Camps 4-22, JNE Forner 2-4
Dauth XI won by 3 runs.
