Nomads sign off
with last gasp defeat
Another gripping match brought the 2015 season to
a close. Whittington won by four wickets with two balls to spare.
The Nomads got off to a stuttering start with
Shami taking two wickets in two balls to remove Jones and Rolfe. Gardner was
well caught off Bunch and the Nomads were in trouble at 19 for 3. Moss and
Heslington steadied the ship and began to put together a solid partnership. The
run rate increased as the partnership grew. Moss passed fifty as Whittington
shared the bowling around. The final few overs were very productive and
Heslington was finally bowled for a hard earned fifty in the last over. The
partnership of 158 being a club record for the fourth wicket. Moss finished
unbeaten on 93 and Brannigan was 2 not out.
Whittington’s response was immediately positive.
Hammond and Coles batted confidently and built a strong platform. Drinks brought
the usual flurry of wickets. Heslington removed the openers. Hoddy grabbed a
wicket and Brannigan returned wicketless but with an excellent run out off his
own bowling. Fearon bowled Hooper but this brought the dangerous Shami to the
crease who set about finishing the job. Whilst he was at the crease the asking
rate always looked possible. The Nomads cause was not helped by the dimming late
and the inability of the fielders wide on the boundary not being able to see the
ball careering towards them.
Result: Whittington beat Lichfield Nomads by 4
wickets.
