The Stage defeats Andy Marshall

A curious match indeed played on a dodgy pitch! The Stage openers rightly chose to flash their bats rather than try and hang around and they did so with good effect and a ample slice of good luck. Once we had the two opening batsman out the Stage succumbed meekly to the Nomads bowlers. Butcher had taken some punishment in between beating the bat before finally coming good and Andy Marshall bowled beautifully. "You always over bowl people", regularly moaned grumpy Chris Page then he and Raymond took out the tail for 8 runs.

Nomads batting started in fine style with boundaries from Lascelles and Latchman but both fell lbw for just 8! Jon Thornton looked good until he played on rather carelessly.The middle order failed despite a fabulous shot for six from Raymond. Nomads at 69-6 seemed dead and buried. However Andy Marshal with several partners notably Pagie and no 11 Duncan Ellis took the score to 147 before Duncan was lbw. Thirty five short but we should have won this match.
