Lichfield Nomads Cricket Club : Match Reports 2014 |
|
Nomads travelled to a new venue at Stafford Grammar School to take on Haughton
Cavaliers for the 2nd time in the season. Dan Moss took on the
captaincy and Nomads bowled first, opening with Moss and Heslington. The opening
batsmen rode their luck with a number of strokes going in the air but none to
hand. One opener retired at 50 has had been agreed prior to the match and no
wickets fell although the runrate was only 4 per over. The bowlers were rotated
and each had some success in taking wickets although the runrate increased to 5
per over by the end of the innings.
Owing to a delayed start and a long tea break, the match was starting to drag on
and a late finish looked on the cards.
Gardner and Heslington opened the batting and struggled to score quickly against the opening
bowlers. The halfway stage saw only 58 runs on the board with the wickets of
Heslington and Westwood down, the latter to a full toss. However at this point
some weaker bowling and the arrival of Moss saw the runrate increase
dramatically. Moss scored 50 off 28 balls but then had to retire as agreed.
Rolfe scored a few but unfortunately Scott was out first ball. Hughes kept
attacking with 34 off 25 balls, but the
required rate could not quite be maintained over the last 5 overs and
Nomads fell 20 runs short with a late finish at 8-45pm
The opposition had brought in 2 or 3 local league players to make up the numbers
but it was an enjoyable game in attractive surroundings.
