Lichfield Nomads 157 for 8 (40 overs)
Nomads trio bowl out Draycott and Hanbury.
After winning the toss, Captain Fearon decided to bat and the openers made
steady progress against good bowling until Heslington was out caught behind from
a wide ball with the score on 44. The momentum continued with Wier and Gardner
and a fifty partnership developed. This was halted when Wier was out caught,
after a good cameo and this bought Rolfe to the crease. The steady progress
continued and Gardner was batting well but he succumbed to a caught and bowled
by R Jackson after scoring 68. At this point the scoring slowed and wickets
fell. As Rolfe kept the score ticking over at one end, R Jackson despatched
another three Nomads batsmen to the pavilion in quick succession during a good
spell of bowling at the other.. When Rolfe was eventually out, he had marshalled
the score to over 150 and a final total of 157 was there to be defended.
A finger
injury to one of the Draycott and Hanbury players meant that they would be two
batsmen short in their innings as they started the game with only 10 men. The
Nomads opening bowlers bowled as tight as they could but two dropped catches off
the bowling of Fearon and one off Greaves’ first delivery meant that the
Draycott openers were allowed to accumulate albeit at a rate that actually kept
the Nomads in the match. The first wicket fell on 77 in the 19 over when Douglas
was caught behind by Rolfe off Greaves. By the time Woodburn was stumped by
Rolfe off Greaves for the second wicket down the run rate had slowed and Nomads
players started to think they could possibly win. Greaves struck again three
balls later. Forster bowled opener Elshout for 42 and now the Nomads were
definitely in the ascendency. As the run rate slowed to a crawl, Greaves, after
a fine spell of bowling was replaced by Ball. Forster caught and bowled S
Jackson and by now the run scoring had stopped. Ball cleaned bowled Cotterill
and R Jackson and when Forster had A Jackson caught by Greaves the game was won
with only two overs remaining. Disclaimer: any offence caused by this article is unintentional, any praise is well deserved. |
