Nomads prevail over depleted La Manga The match was cancelled then reinstated at an earlier time.Unfortunately we were unable to contact some of our players and then the start was delayed so a shortened match was agreed as some of La Manga had to leave early. In the end we ended up as eleven with assistance form the brothers Fisher who had turned up to watch. La Manga's late comers did not appear. Nomads made a decent total of 173 which total was constrained by the thick rich grass turning fours into twos and singles.Simon Robinson top scored after an uncertain start and then several Nomads chipped in. La Manga openers punished Krunic but then both fell to Robinson and the innings never recovered momentum despite a useful knock from Graham.  Nomads relax at the Piano Bar La Manga

Mojacor thrash Nomads who rue dropped catches Nomads won the toss and batted first.Having greeted all our familiar friends we were then introduced to the five new members from Pakistan.the outfield was very wet with dew and this restricted our opening pair who neverthelss added 64 when Latchamn was trapped lbw to one that kept low. Robinson adjusting to the pitch and the need for the aerial route struck a series of boundaries and with Luke Rogers added 86.Rogers having just hit a huge six got carried away and miscued the next innocuous ball and was caught,150-2. On another day Nomads would have been well placed to post a big total but with a long tail it was vital that Robinson batted through with Krunic after an impaired Smith had gone for 10,175-3. Unfortunately Robinson was out shortly after for a fine century and then we scrambled another thirty due to Krunic's giant strides. Last year after a good start once we were through the top few Mojacor collapsed.With a new top order we were going to have to bowl well.Robinson being tired after his innings we opened with the drifting guile of Norman Dugdale complementing Krunic. Another day this may have worked as both openers made errors against the slow pace and Munib may have been caught and bowled.As it was we let chances go and Munib and Beale soon established a dominant partnership putting on 122 for the first wicket.Blumberg had Beale caught by Norman Dugdale but any thoughts of a further breakthrough were squashed by the accomplished left handed Farat who joined Munib adding 85 runs. The skipper invited Ilija Krunic to bowl a second spell.Spurning his swift right arm seam he bowled an offbreak but then informed the umpire he would bowl left arm.the startled Farat was at once bamboozeled by the flight and guile of this delivery and so our giant fast seamer had finally taken a wicket. Munib completed an unbeaten ton finished with some mighty slogs off Andy Smith who suggested he show more respect and Mojacor had won by 8 wickets with ten overs to spare. | MATCH 55 LA MANGA/MOJACOR/Albox CCs v NOMADS CC at La Manga Club Upper Cricket Ground Thursday October 16th 12.00pm-40 overs match with bowlers limited to 8 overs.

George Wambeke claimed he had a poor side apart from Shafique and a couple of other so we had better bat. Nomads strenghened by the arrival of James While opened with yesterdays's centurion and Robinson and Rogers and look forward to a big total.so bereft of seam bowling were the opposition that Shafique put in an opening spell of four overs before putting on his pads to keep wicket. In that brief spell he had our openers and Andy Smith for a duck(4-1-10-3),16-3. Krunic and While restored order but just as James seemed to be en route for a big innings he holed out to montgomery,62-4.Injured Latchman joine Krunic to add 46 before being trapped lbw,108-5. Krunic expanded his range of shots and proceeded to his highest score for Nomads and his first Fifty for the club.Depite and broken thumb Barter smote acouple of boundaries including a big six and we reached an inadequate total of 166. While and Krunic opened the bowling and had Shafique and veteran Hancock playing and missing.When the edge came it was dropped and prospering from his good luck Shafique was quick to punish anything short or a fraction over pitched. Meanwhile Hancock played a sound second fiddle and between overs counsellor to Safique. And so the stand progressed.There were blemishes,there were many forward defensive shots but these two comfortably reached their target in the 31st over,Shafique having hit 129* out of 168. No wonder he invited us to his new restaurant and we will come in 2009!
