MATCH 20 Nomads CC v Eton Ramblers Sunday June 25th 11.30 am Agars Plough, Eton Windsor
At Eton
a decent top order line up collapsed to wrist spinner Innes-Kerr on a
bouncy Agars Plough pitch either side of an early lunch after being
invited to bat. At 117-7 Nomads were in dire straights but a stand of 90
by young Mahendra Parwan and skipper Michael Blumberg revived the
innings helped by the generous removal of Innes-Kerr from the attack
for a while. Parwan scored the runs(98) while Blumberg offered advice
between overs. Abetted by some lusty slogs from Peter Cooke a total of
234 was eventually reached, all out in the 53rd over .
Despite
losing an early wicket Ramblers set off at a furious pace aided and
assisted by wides, full tosses and long hops so that 50 were on the board
off 6 overs. Srikanth brought some sanity at one end and began to take
wickets steadily such that Ramblers were 187-6, 5 wickets to Srikanth
Kattaboyana. Boxcowan who started tentatively and might have been caught
several times on another day grew in confidence to hit a fine 75 not
out while Innes-Kerr kept him company in a stand worth 60 runs when the
winning runs were hit.
With a little more line and length a very enjoyable day would have seen a victory if not a much closer result.
