Nomads lose to D2 at Wishaw

A thoroughly enjoyable day at Wishaw CC against a strong D2 side (with both Wishaw & Water Orton CC league players), as we lost by 66 runs.
Having lost the toss, Jim & Daz bowled really well up front, both picking up deserved wickets however a chanceless partnership from two Wishaw CC players saw the score rattle along.
Some great death bowling meant we restricted D2 to 243-5; at some point they were probably looking to get closer to 300.
Dazzler's superb reaction catch at mid-wicket was a particular highlight.

Needing 6 an over, our task became even harder thanks to a wonderful opening spell of bowling, from Water Orton CC's left arm seamer Hudson, as he bowled both Mossy & Rich in a spell of 6-3-3-2.
However, Inaam batted with brute force yet again, to haul us back into the game. He was out for a fine 63, ably supported by Mo.
Gibbo enjoyed himself, scoring a well-made 38 whilst we had another Gonad, for my brother Jake, as we ultimately fell well short.
