Royal Brussels CC v Lichfield Nomads CC Scores: Royal Brussels 192 for 6, Lichfield Nomads 164 for 5
Nomads
battle at Waterloo
After
a well-organised trip to the Royal Brussels ground the match started with Royal
Brussels batting. With some doubts about Brannigan’s bowling fitness, Heslington
and Westwood opened the bowling. Heslington was bowling really well and his
spell of 7 overs saw only 12 runs taken off him plus the dismissal of the 2
openers. The next 2 batsmen however began to attack Hoddy and Hughes who had
replaced the openers and although there were some missed chances they both
played well before eventually being dismissed late on by Brannigan. A total of
192 looked to be a good score for the opposition.
Gardner and Heslington opened the batting but tight bowling saw them struggle to
score runs and in the 5th over Gardner was caught behind for 1 with
only 6 on the board. Westwood came in and found things equally difficult and was
eventually dismissed for 9. However this brought in Brannigan who after a few
sighters proceeded to demolish the bowling attack. Although when he came in the
asking rate was 8.5 per over, towards the end of his inning there were signs of
concern in the opposition team. His innings of 82 came off just 52 balls. He was
ably supported by Hughes whose innings of 31 also saw his 1000th run
scored for Nomads. A brief inning of 2 not out by Pinfield saw his return to
Nomads after injury.
A
good effort by Nomads. If some chances had been taken then a victory was
definitely on the cards.
