Ducks a plenty in Devon

Omari Banks turned out briefly for Budleigh

Only a handful of games started on a soggy Saturday in the Francis Clarke Devon Cricket League and not one of them was played to a conclusion.

Three games started in the Premier Division, including Budleigh Salterton's game against lowly Torquay.

Torquay managed to wring an extra point out of a damp affair at Ottermouth by picking up two wickets in the 12.2 overs bowling time they had.

Usman Malvi sent back former West Indian Test star Omari Banks for a duck in the first over, then had Devon's Sandy Allen caught at slip for 19.

Steve Spoljaric was 29 not out, and Bob Dawson unbeaten on 10, when the game was halted to rain.

Thanks to Malvi earning a bowling point for two Budleigh wickets, Torquay took home seven points instead of six for a straightforward rain-off.
