Lichfield Nomads v Kenilworth
Scores: Nomads 140 for 8; Kenilworh 141 for 5
Even with
27 members , Nomads again found themselves short and required 2 guest players to
attain a team of 11. Nomads batted first and our 2 guests opened. They
maintained a good rate of 5/over thanks mainly to the erratic bowling of
Phillips but in the 9th over McCumsky did not play at a ball from
Phillips which came back and hit the wickets. Fearon went out and was watchful
for a couple of overs and then started to get after the bowling with 90 being
reached after 21 overs. However Kelsey found that bowling full tosses was a good
ploy with Fearon lbw to one and Gorton caught off one. Weir and Pickering shone
briefly with Weir bludgeoning the ball in front of the wicket and Pickering late
cutting through slips behind the wicket. Both reached the same score of 11 in
their own ways. After this the innings subsided with Hughes out for a duck to a
sharply turning ball, Collins caught by an outstanding catch by the bowler,
George just failing to ensure winning the Gonads trophy by failing to get a duck
and then Stanley and Hoddy seeing out the 40 overs. 83 scored in the first 20
overs and only 57 in the second 20.
Defending a total 50 runs short of a good total was always going to be
difficult. Fearon struck in his opening spell with 2 wickets and Hoddy was
steady at the other end without posing a great threat. Stranks and Kerry took
few risks but ran some excellent quick singles making Nomads look a bit
‘Indianesque’ in the field. Hughes rang the changes bringing himself on and then
Greaves to tempt the batmen but to no avail. Only when Collins came on did
wickets begin to fall (he will be sadly missed if he has to retire from
cricket), but it was too little too late and the opposition reached their target
with 4 overs to spare, with 14 year old Lane reaching his maiden 50. A match
played in a good spirit and opposition worth keeping I would suggest.
