Strikers CC 153 all out.
Nomads Fight Back to Claim Victory
The
match venue was not known until late in the week as Shugborough and Bit End both
became unavailable. The game was eventually played at Kings Newton. Nomads
batted first opening with Heslington and Stanley, who was a trifle unlucky to be
given lbw after scoring 1 run. Westwood pushed singles to a well-set field,
finding it difficult to reach the boundary. He showed his frustration hitting
out to an accurate ball. However Hutton came in and continued in his rich vein
of form and ably backed up by Heslington the score reached 121-2 when Heslington
was caught. However with Brannigan and Fearon to bat, a 200 total seemed
possible. However the new bowler Ramki was causing problems with his unorthodox
action. Brannigan, Fearon and Hutton, attempting a big 6, were taken by him and
then after Taylor had to retire with a pul,l the aim was to bat out the overs.
However Ramki continued plundering wickets and the total reached was only 157 in
37.5 overs.
Knowing our opponents, we realised we would have to take all the wickets to win
the match.
Brannigan was a little erratic and
quite expensive for him. Hoddy missed a catch at fly slip off his bowling when
he saw the ball a little late. Stanley took a good catch in the slips off Heslington
and Pickering took one off Westwood.
However when Hoddy and Hutton came on wickets began to fall. Hoddy was accurate
was unlucky not to gain an lbw with 3 good shouts, there were also 2 close run
out decisions not given. Hutton had a good head of steam and had a hat trick
chance. The wickets fell at regular intervals and 9 wickets were down with 30
still to get. However the last 2 batsmen were stubborn and chipped away at the
target. Rolfe had a difficult decision on who to bring on after Hoddy and picked
Westwood. This eventually paid off when he claimed the last wicket to a good
catch by Hutton in the deep.
An exciting match which it was good to win against worthy opponents. Hutton
deservedly claimed MVP for the match
