Lichfield Nomads Cricket Club : Match Reports 2017 |
|
Result: Lichfield Nomads beat Woore by 5 wkts. Nomads win at Woore
Nomads elected to bowl first on a wicket dampened by morning rain. With 7
bowlers to choose from, Capt Rolfe opened with Moss and Heslington who gave
little away and whilst the openers survived, they could not score quickly.
Ellsmoor was a little unlucky when his back foot deflected the ball back onto
his stumps. This brought in minor celebrity Nick Hancock who was much more
aggressive and became the highest scorer on either side with 41 runs. Hutton and
Westwood took over maintaining control and then Hughes and Cartwright continued
in the same vein. Hoddy came on and although he did not bowl consistently
somehow managed to take 5 wickets, and Woore subsided to 123 all out.
Nomads fielded well taking 6 catches and a run out, even though they also missed
4 difficult catching chances. Even though the pitch was not that easy to score runs on, the total seemed
to be well within reach.
Our
confidence was somewhat dented when Gardner was out for 0 in the first over and
Terry in the 4th over. Moss realised that the best policy was to dig
in, not opening his account until the 14th ball he faced. Heslington
was scoring quite freely but was undone by the lofted elevation produced by the
leg spinner, Hughes. Stanley was given lbw for 0. This caused some debate
amongst the spectators but having the technology of ‘DazCam’, a recording was replayed
and it was agreed the decision was umpire’s call. Westwood was out showing too
much aggression in the circumstances and with the score at 49-5 an unexpected
result looked a possibility. However Hutton restrained his attacking style and
the 2 batsmen steadily accumulated runs and then let fly when the target was in
sight safely attaining victory.
Another win for Nomads keeps a winning season on target although there are some
tough matches coming up.
