The second and third matches were washed out while the fourth reached the 21st over by which time Nigel Keess had struck 41*. With several of the party returning on Sunday night or Monday morning we invited three members of the Forty club (UK) who were also on tour and short of cricket. Brian Scovell was a Nomads member for many years two/three decades ago!
