You'll get more realistic results with cloth if you use the

"Drag parameters" on the cloth object, instead of the DOP wind force.

You should set the "External Velocity Offset" to your wind velocity.

To get the right rolling behavior, you need to tweak the "Normal Drag" and the "Tangent Drag".

You would typically set the "Normal Drag" to a much higher value than the "Tangent Drag".
