Result: Lichfield Nomads beat Strikers by 3 wkts
Thrilling Last Over Victory for Nomads
Nomads for the second season played
Stafford Strikers at Kings Bromley due to the unavailability of their ground at
Shugborough. A lovely cricketing day saw Nomads bowling first after losing the
toss. The opposition got off to a flying start , Shantanu being particularly
harsh on Heslington, although Moss was bowling very tightly. Hutton was brought
on and bowled the dangerous Shantanu and then proceeded to take more quick
wickets . Maddy was a trifle unlucky when he defended and the ball rolled back
onto his stumps and just dislodged one bail. More wickets fell and from a
commanding position Strikers fell to 142-9 wickets. However a brave last wicket
stand saw another 37 runs added to give Strikers reasonable hopes of a victory
With a fast outfield and a good batting side , Nomads were reasonably confident
of securing victory .
Gardner and Jones opened, with Jones playing some good-looking shots , so it
came as a surprise when he was bowled by Muthu. Weir also went quickly to the
same bowler but then Moss and Gardner started to develop a partnership which
yielded 55 runs. Gardner and Heslington departed and Moss just failed to reach
his 50. This saw us with 6 wickets down and 60 runs to get in 10 overs. A
daunting task but with Brannigan and Fearon in , there was still hope as was
demonstrated when Fearon’s first 2 shots were 4 and 6. The two players kept up
with the required rate and a penultimate over yielding 9 allayed fears somewhat.
The last over required 3 runs to win but dot, 1, dot, run out piled on the tension. However Capt.
Rolfe came in and off a high full toss top edged over the keeper for 4 to give
us the victory.
A really exciting game showed us what we play cricket for. COYN
