Lichfield Nomads
v
Burton 3rds
Scores: Nomads 86 all out ; Burton 3rds 195 for 6
Result Burton 3rds won by 109 runs
When Burton saw there was a gap in our fixtures on our website they contacted us
and arranged this fixture on the historic Trent Bridge ground. They proved to be
an enthusiastic and friendly opposition. Westwood won the toss and put Burton in
to bat. Nomads opening bowlers
bowled tightly at first with Burton scoring only 8 off the first 6 overs. Then
Egginton started to take advantage of the short boundary when the bowling
drifted down the leg side. Hoddy bowled well throughout and eventually dismissed
Egginton for 43. Forster and Collins followed with two quick wickets. Hussein’s
sharp fielding in the covers was brought to an untimely end when he dislocated a
finger. Hibbert (35) and Robinson (24) consolidated the Burton innings scoring
several well-hit boundaries. Greaves broke their stand of 39 bowling high into
the breeze and Collins continued to take wickets at the other end. Burton still
made progress with A Mewis’s unconventional drives adding a valuable 30.
Heslington claimed two wickets with an accurate spell of bowling in the final
overs. (these may possibly not go towards his average as he’s in the book as R.
Edminton).
Nomads opened steadily and after 13 overs were 41 for 1. However any hopes of
accelerating the scoring rate were dashed in the next three overs when five
wickets fell for the addition of
only one run, three to Rashid who trapped Gardner and Stanley with deliveries
which lifted off a length and Weir ( who misjudged the pace of a short pitched
ball). The quick bowling of Philips claimed George and Brannigan. It was up to
Westwood to rescue the innings with a well-fought and responsible 19 runs. Hoddy
provided support in a partnership of 20 runs but by now the Burton total of 195
was out of sight. Nomads are at Sutton on the Hill next week, still looking for
the first win of the season.
