                          Marshall Apart A Rotten Nomads Performance 

A pretty dire performance by Nomads against the schoolboys. Marshall bowled well taking six wickets but his run out for a duck in  the Nomads innings was a calamity as much was expected from him with the bat.

The schoolboys were in a spot of bother with half the side out under 100 but then number 6 Sargent prospered particularly against the bowling of Crombie and Catt.

Nomads lost their top three for a smidgeon of runs and a duck from Marks did not help much. Peter Quinn, Catt and Ian Crombie added a few runs but Holloway.s three wickets in two overs at the death summed up a ghastly batting performance.

The significance of this scorecard from the UCS School review 'The Gower' as I remember it when sent  was the listing of Ian Crombie as just Crombie which in the custom of those days meant he was a 'Professional'. Quite how that miunderstanding occurred god alone knows. It should not have been his Cambridge Boxing Blue Sweater!

1963 was the summer when the modern West Indies really first appeared as a force to be reckoned with and a certain Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith's bombarded Brian Close's body as England drew a  memorable match at Lord's,9 wickets down and 6 runs short with Cowdrey arm in plaster and at the non strikers' end. Not a helmet in sight when real men played test cricket! Scorecard

On July 16th Windies were drawing  a match with Leicestershire. Scorecard
