Bath Venturers v Lichfield Nomads

Lichfield Nomads 67 for 9
Bath Venturers 68 for 1

Nomads 1st match of the Bath tour saw a gamble by captain Pinfield, hoping to win the toss and insert the opposition in a declaration game. Unfortunately this did not occur and Nomads started with the experienced  partnership of Gardner and Heslington. Both openers had trouble with the lift gained by Hotchen and the accuracy of Siddhant. Heslington went for a duck when mistiming an attacking shot off Hotchen. Gardner began to cope by cutting the ball through the slip area but played one down into the hands of the slips. Stanley struggled for a slow 3 runs but just about managed to reach a ball about to be called wide to give a catch off the toe end of his bat. Only Brannigan coped well with the bowling regaining some of his old form before being caught off a slightly mistimed attacking shot. Two catches and a run out so 3 more gonads Pickering, Hughes and Hoddy managed to stick around to give a final score of 67.

This was never going to be enough and Siddhant and Nikhil gained the runs comfortably in just 10.4 overs. The only consolation was a final over by Pinfield gaining the wicket of Siddhant to a fine one-handed catch by Brannigan on the boundary.

 Although well beaten, Nomads did not have much luck in that 6 shots up in the air all went to hand.
