The Tall Guy
On the day competitive league cricket returned to Scotland, after Glasgow was taken out of COVID Level Three restrictions, Poloc are captured fielding against hosts Dumfries during a fixture in the Western District Cricket Union's Premier Division.
After losing the toss, Dumfries went on to win by 70 runs.
Scott Beveridge (43) and Andrew Dawson (23) gave Dumfries a solid platform at Nunholm by putting on 65 for the first wicket. The hosts slipped to 118-4 before Chris Brockwell (54) and Alan Davidson (21) figured in a fifth-wicket partnership worth 60. From 178-5, Dumfries rather tailed off. I suspect they might've been disappointed with 220. Quick Kess Sajjad (4-31), who mopped up the lower order, and spinner Ahmed-Raza Hanif (2-35) were Poloc's most effective bowlers.
At 91-2, Poloc found themselves in a promising position. Andrew Mallichan (37) and opener Sufian Ali (28) added 65 for the second wicket. Neither looked particularly comfortable. Alan Davidson (3-31) removed both, caught and bowled. After that, Poloc's long tail was exposed. Several 'dolly' catches gifted to Dumfries. Only Robbie Cathcart (17) made any sort of score. Tommy McGrath, taking three lower order wickets, finished with 4-19.
