Lichfield Nomads v Draycott & Hanbury
WICKETLESS AT WHITTINGTON
Nomads were glad to get a match
in against a youthful Draycott & Hanbury team. Playing on the all-weather strip,
Nomads opened the batting with Gardner & Stanley. During the innings rain fell
and the game was converted from a 40 to a 37 over match. A decent start was
made, the run-rate 4 per over. However wickets fell regularly. Gardner run out;
Heslington falling to yet another fine catch in the covers; Jones and Blackburn,
G bowled. Even though the opposition used a total of 7 bowlers, it was all good
quality and no acceleration of scoring took place. Run outs followed in an
effort to eke out a few more runs. As a consequence a few uncalled for comments
were made which we do not want to hear from Nomad’s players and I hope that any
bad feeling was washed away in the post match drink. A final score of 144
(including 24 wides) seemed a little short of a winning total.
After tea Hardwick and Gardiner
opened . Although “Jonty” Heslington swooped and run out Hardwick with a 30 yard
direct hit (a la Colin Bland or a young Clive Lloyd for the more elderly of us –
perhaps an exaggeration), the batsmen, with the carefree attitude of youth tried
to score off every ball. There were edges and balls hit in the air but nothing
went to hand and the total was comfortably
achieved off 27 overs.
