Accrington v Rawtenstall
Saturday May 6th 2006
Accrington score a club record 341-5
Zed hit 59 in a 2nd wicket stand of 102 with Nishit after Graeme had gone for 15
Nishit began solidly
And then began to open up
Quick singles
Cover drives
Matt joined in the fun with 53 in a 3rd wicket stand of 146
Delicate deflections
More quick singles
Four through the on side
Time for chat between pro' and skipper
Then it's back to the business of scoring runs
A new club record score passing the 288 against Bacup in 1913
The 300 comes up
for the first time at Thorneyholme Road
Nishit goes to his second 150 in three innings at home
Time to acknowledge the applause
The flashing blade inflicts more pain on Rawtenstall
It's wide but it still goes for more runs
Until Nishit goes in the final over bowled by Peter Seal
The score is 333-5
when Nishit is out. Eight more runs were added to leave the final score 341-5
And Nishit has made 173 of them on another historic day at the office. Accrington went on to win by 95 runs after rain reduced Rawtenstall's target to 290
