John's report on last game and Zia's total runs etc.

I have gone through the scorebooks and found that Zia has scored 647 runs this season. The missing score was, surprisingly, 0 against Surbiton Imperials and the score I was guessing as 60 (against Gentlemen of Hampstead) was 61.  The all-time record for runs scored by one player for Nomads in a season is held by Hasan with 692 runs in 2010.

John also made a report for last Sunday's win over Barnes Occasionals. Here it is;

"Nomads' game against Barnes Occasionals was, in some respects, similar to the previous game at Harrow. This time batting first, the Nomads lost 3 early wickets but then came another huge partnership between Hasan and Zia who is a run machine at the moment. Last week (against Harrow) the pair scored on an unbeaten 157, a club record for the 5th wicket. This time they put on 142 for the 4th wicket with Zia making 91 and Hasan 60. The Nomads finished on 228 for 7 off 35 overs, a score which Barnes Occasionals were unlikely to get. For a change, Nomads held all their catches and Barnes were all out for 145 in the final over of the game.
Strangely enough, 228 was the same score that Harrow made against the Nomads on 2nd September." JC
