Good Start

The mighty Pleavin had a better debut than DUNNO.

Good Start

thats cause i'm a bowler

next day: surrey start 1for1
later in day: without any success so far today for sussex they call upon Dunn'y 4 runs coming off his first over at the over end though Ahmed weeves his magic and get Clinton nicking with Dunn safely catching it 2 down but with Dunn now he comes into bowl Thorpe hes not confident as hes being smashed on the last bowl Thorpe looks like he's smashed it but no one nows where the bowl is until an appeal goes up from Yardy and the umpire rasies his finger Thorpe is Dunn's first F.C wicket Dunn finally get replaced after 19 overs Dunn comes back into the attack after tea replacing the guy that replaced him at the end of the day Dunn's figures are 26 overs 3 madiens 77 runs and a wicket and 2 catches
