Nomads lost by 7 wickets to a talented Dulwich Development XI on Sunday. Nomads made 198 for 9 and were felt to be in such a reasonable position that skipper Todorow declared. Excellent batting from Dulwich, however, saw them home with 10 balls to spare. Riaz was the batting star for Clapham with his second half-century in successive games. A fine second wicket partnership of 72 between Gul and Darwin had given us a good platform Bowling and especially fielding weren't so great with every bowler going for at least 4 an over - several for considerably more - and a string of dropped catches. Z.Rostami was Dulwich's matchwinner with a punishing 98 not out. There was a big shout for caught behind when he was on about 50. John Crossland held on to the chance well in his first match back The general Nomads consensus was that this was rather close and would have gone to the Decision Review System, but who knows; Dulwich may have had even more destructive batsmen further down the order. They had certainly already done enough to pretty much guarantee a draw at least.
Man of the Match was Riaz Khan. It is a shame the season is over just as he is providing great entertainment. Abbas fielded well with a run out and the only catch but Fielder of the Day was John who did well on his return from a 15-week injury lay-off. He held on to what could conceivably have been given as a catch and he only conceded 1 bye.
