Lichfield Nomads Cricket Club : Match Reports 2016 |
|
Scores: Lichfield Nomads CC 186 for 7,
Strikers CC 187 for 6.
Excellent tea – shame about the result
Captain Rolfe won the toss (almost inevitably) and elected to bat. Despite a
chorus of wildly enthusiastic appeals anytime the ball hit a pad, Jones and
Stanley made steady progress reaching 41 in the 10th over. Somewhat
controversially, Stanley was given out caught behind following a very muted
appeal. Jones, who was punching the ball powerfully through the off side, put on
83 with Hutton. Jones reached a
well-deserved maiden 50. He was disappointed to be dismissed for 62, having
counted every run. Hutton followed one run later for 37. Contributions from
Harrison and (Liam) Taylor kept the runs coming. Momentum was lost at the end of
the innings. Only 34 were scored in the last 10 overs. 186 was felt to be about
25 runs short.
An appearance from Gardener just before the tea interval was particularly
welcomed, as he brought bhajis and samosas to supplement the standard tea
offerings.
Stafford Strikers seem to have the knack of finding one batsman who is difficult
to dislodge. In this case it was Shantanu who anchored the innings with 84.
Hutton bowled his eight overs straight through with a superb display of accurate
fast bowling. 108 for 1 at drinks left the Captain with a major problem. A sharp
run out effected by Taylor, followed by a golden duck gave fresh hope.
Cartwright gave little away. However the Strikers had wickets and overs in hand.
They clinched victory in the 37th over for the loss of 6 wickets.
When dry, Bit End seems to be a ground on which a par score is just over 200.
The Nomads paid the penalty for not posting a sufficiently challenging total.
