Lichfield Nomads v Wall
Scores: Wall 257 for 8; Nomads 259 for 3
A last minute change of pitch saw the
game take place on the artificial pitch on the main square at Barton. Wall
batted first and started briskly.
Fearon claimed the first two wickets with an in cutter and an lbw. The bowlers temporarily put the
reigns on the scoring with Branningan coming round the wicket. The middle order
of Wall however batted confidently, attacked the bowling and pushed up the run
rate, helped by a hard dry outfield. Kev Collins added quick runs down the
order. The bowlers had to work hard throughout. Moss’s efforts were rewarded
with 3 wickets – all bowled. At tea the Wall score of 257 looked daunting but as
someone remarked, Chris Collins scored a hundred in the same fixture last
year…………
The Wall opening bowling was tight.
Gardner found Caddick difficult to get away. It was up to Collins to set the
agenda with bold drives and pulls. A direct hit from the outfield ran Gardner
out, and the left arm spin of Foulds claimed Fearon. Collins in the meantime was
batting well and took the score to 125 of the first 20 overs. Brannigan supported Collins in a
partnership of 101 with good shot selection. He was eventually out to an
excellent catch from bowler Collins K. But the bowlers had no answer to the
relentless onslaught from Chris Collins. His stylish innings included a range of
flowing drives, pulls, wristy glances and a superb 6 to square leg. He deservedly carried his bat with a
record score for the Nomads of 194 not out, beating Rob Ings’s 172 made in 1995.
Congratulations go to Chris who, with 74.9% of the Nomads runs, ensured an
unlikely victory for the Nomads ( and the highest team score batting second). |
