He was a right-arm medium-fast bowler, and in the first innings, he took three wickets, including that of Test cricketer Harry Butt. In the second innings he took two more wickets. He was a right-handed batsman and scored 8 runs.
Nornable died in hospital in Sheffield at the age of 83. His son Gordon Nornable was decorated for underground service with the French resistance during World War II.
