Next time I am passing a decent internet cafe I will post the report for the 2015 season written by Nomads' controversial and tough-talking wicket-keeper, John Crossland. It is quite a good read.
Also, various statistical landmarks have been passed in the last few seasons.
Emil Todorow has now made a scarcely believable 228 successive appearances for the club and has played in over 300 games in all.
John Crossland and Nick Lefebve have passed 250 appearances.
Mahesh Vyas and Riaz Khan have passed the 100 appearance mark.
After a recount of old fixtures, Sumith Prasanna played in 100 games.
I have included a fixture against Battersea Spinners at Vine Road in 2003 where Nomads brought 14 men and lent 3 to the opposition. This was a perfectly normal Sunday game on a decent pitch prepared by a high quality groundsman (well, alright.... prepared by Renato Philip.) For some reason, it was decided afterwards that this would count as a practice match; but, since we have included 10-over-a-side matches and a game where we combined with Kingston Taxes, then I think the Spinners game should be included (and not just because I scored 32 not out and took my only wicketkeeping catch for the Nomads.) Actually, the main beneficiaries are Sumith - who is now up to 100 appearances - and Chris Kennedy, whose 27 is now his top score for the club.
The 9 men who have 100 caps for the club are; Emil Todorow, John Crossland, Nick Lefebve, John Chance, Abdul Khan, Hassan Khan, Mahesh Vyas, Riaz Khan and Sumith Prasanna.
Chris Kennedy with 91 and Andrew West with 88 would make up the 11.
Other landmarks have been passed as well. I will add them to this post soon.
