R.I.P. Peter Saberton

It was very sad to hear that a former Nomads player and captain, Peter Saberton, died last month at the age of 61.  He only played a dozen or so games for the Nomads but captained the side admirably to victory in a potentially explosive needle match against The Hunter Family.  We knew that he was a jazz pianist and, in fact, he gave up cricket after a dozen or so Nomads matches as he was worried about damaging his fingers (a distinct possibility remembering some of the pitches we used to play on.)  I only found out that he was also a well-known and prolific jazz Composer when I read his obituary.  He was a nice guy, a keen chess player and quite a close friend of Emil Todorow.  We pass our condolences to Emil and to any of his other friends or relatives that may happen to read this.  I will expand this, and perhaps include a report on the Nomads v Hunters match, soon
