Dan Goldstraw took four wickets in an amazing seven-ball burst to shatter any hopes Bournemouth had of derailing Totton & Eling's ECB Southern Electric Premier League title aspirations at Chapel Gate.

Bournemouth fancied their chances after reducing the double champions from 131-3 to 167 all out.

But Goldstraw the Premier League's leading wicket taker, had an entirely different agenda.

Swinging the ball prodigiously, the tall left-armer was twice on a hat-trick as he removed four Bournemouth batsmen with the first ten deliveries he sent down from Chapel Gate's scoreboard end.

He began with a wide and then conceded two leg-byes.

But, with the score on three, Goldstraw dismissed Joe Cranch (leg before without offering a shot) and clean bowled Grant Mather first ball.

With his second and third deliveries of his second over, he bowled Simon Watkins and pinned teenager Chris Ridley with a ball that arched back into the Canford youngster's pads.

Goldstraw's figures stood at four wickets at a personal cost of one wide ball, Bournemouth were 3-4 - and the game was effectively over.

"It was a phenomenal piece of bowling," beamed Totton wicketkeeper David Banks, who enjoyed a bird's eye view of the swing Goldstraw (4-14) was achieving.

"Some of the balls Dan bowled were virtually unplayable."

Nick Park (28), the ever maturing Dorset batsman, showed better technique than his teammates and fought a long, lonely battle as James Hibberd (2-13) and Adam Sharp (2-30) continued to cut through a confusing Bournemouth batting order.

Park was eventually eighth out, having made 28 out of Bournemouth's 49-8!

After a brief rally by Matt Metcalfe, Lee Savident grabbed the last two wickets to send Bournemouth crashing to 73 all out.

It didn't help Bournemouth's cause that regular skipper Darren Cowley was unavailable and Ben Lawes was nursing a dislocated finger and came in at nine.

"It was a bad day at the office," conceded stand-in Bournemouth skipper Richard Scott.

"But Dan did bowl well and Totton underlined how difficult a side they are to beat by defending a relatively modest total."

The last 17 wickets of the day fell for 109 runs - both sets of seam bowlers thriving when they pitched the ball in the right areas of a track affected by overnight rain.

Play didn't begin until after lunch - the scheduled all-day Time pennant fixture being switched to a 48-overs per side result' match.

Lee Savident provided Totton & Eling with a timely boost, blasting 45 out of the first 63.

Damian Shirazi dug in and saw the Kenway brothers perish to Grant Mather before David Banks (18) joined him in a key 48-run fourth wicket partnership.

The return of teenager Ed Denham (3-28) prompted a change in the game's direction - the 16-year old having Banks caught at mid-on before ending Shirazi's 42-over vigil at the crease with a return catch the left-hander drilled into his mid-rift.

Ironically, Shirazi had completed a gritty half-century the ball before - his 51 proving crucial in the context of the game.

Totton lost three wickets for just two runs between 155 and 157-8 and eventually fell to 167 all out, with Matt Metcalfe (3-37) creating inroads into the lower order.
