Daniel Solway
Solway lost the toss and was asked to bat against the Ghosts, a decision which could backfire, after Solway showed he was in sublime form and reached a stunning 134 before being run out.
He was very well supported along the way by George Balderson (69) and Zeeshaan Ahmed (68) to ensure the Bulldogs piled on a massive total in the glorious Sydney sunshine.
Ahmed was particularly good with shot placement with the leather hitting the fence 10 times in his run spree, while Englishman Balderson took singles, 2s and 3s with deft skill and clever running.
But it was Solway who really took the game to the Ghosts with 12 fours and and a towering six, spending more than 40 overs at the crease.
His score moves him into third place on the Bulldogs’ all-time run scorers list, having just passed club legend and life member Dion Bourne’s 9,131 runs.
A stunning display of both measured and aggressive batting, has put the Dogs in a strong position with 9 for 367 after 96 overs.
