Al Dhatt has once again proved that age is just a number as the veteran spinner helped CYMS to a dominant win over the weekend.
Taking on Orange City in round five of the Bathurst and Orange Inter District Cricket competition, the green and golds lost the toss and were sent into bat. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
CYMS would finish their innings on 9-238, thanks in large part to an 52-run opening stand by Will Oldham (31) and Joey Coughlan (30), followed by a captain's knock of 68 from just 59 balls by Tom Belmonte.
With a lofty total to chase, City got off to a decent start thanks to Josh Coyte (28), Shaun Grenfell (22) and Nathan Rosser (48), but the introduction of Dhatt into the attack proved the turning point.
The left-armer would finish with figures of 5-23 from his eight, including the big scalps of Coyte, Rosser and Fletcher Rose (0).
"I'd say I was lucky. There was a bit in the wicket so that helped a fair bit," Dhatt said.
