With the pitch playing very true and with good bounce, both Naveed and Richard were able to score freely in the early overs. Once Richard departed, first Sachin and then Hemin continued to give good support to Naveed and The Gents were able to keep the run rate between 6-7 per over until Naveed s departure for 47 in the 17th. over. Some tight bowling in the middle overs pegged The Gents back but a very solid display from the middle order (Hemin 27, Sumit 26, Nilesh 28) built on the fast start from the openers and the visitors closed on a very respectable 196 all out in 35 overs, the ninth wicket falling on the last ball of the innings as Greg gallantly fell trying to push for an extra run, and with The Gents fielding only 10 players.</p> <p>An excellent tea was provided by the hosts after which Swinging Googlies started their innings at a similar pace to The Gents. Sumit once again shared the new ball and his accurate line and length snared the first wicket. Nilesh came on at first change and took the important wicket of Prab who was scoring boundaries quite regularly. He then enticed their captain, a very dangerous looking batsman indeed, into top edging to Sachin behind the stumps. Another astute bowling change by the captain saw Naveed take a wicket in his first over. With the hosts 5 wickets down, Hemin Patel then came onto to bowl a cracking spell that yielded four wickets, three of which were bowled and 1 smartly stumped by Sachin Desai. Snelling came back for a second spell and despite some excellent deliveries was unable to pick up the wicket his effort deserved. Greg Newcombe was another bowler who put in a very tidy shift and went unrewarded for his efforts. Wayne Caveney put in an enthusiastic fielding stint. </p> <p>Overall a fine performance by The Gents, one man down, against very friendly and competitive opposition. 175 would have been a par score on a pitch that played very true with good and even bounce allied to a fast outfield. The batting was very solid all the way through and with four of the top six posting 2 plus runs it was a fine effort to post a total just 4 runs shy of 200. The fielding was once again sharp and the bowling disciplined. The captain gets credit for rotating his bowling options and field placements so that the eleventh man was not missed too badly.</p> <p>The opposition deserve a mention for their sporting manner on and off the field (their captain graciously offering one of his players to field for us) and for their hospitality (a fine and bountiful tea).</p> <p>A special mention should also go to the venue. It is well documented that we are having serious issues with our current home ground and I think it would be prudent to investigate the availability and suitability of this ground for future seasons, the location being only two miles from Kingston and in a reasonably secluded park with ample protected parking. Changing rooms were well maintained more importantly the pitch was very good. The downsides would be the additional cost (rental fee and insurance requirements) and tea arrangements. </p> <p>Naveed Khan</p> </h5> </td> <td width="5%" /> </tr> </table> <br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="46" height="18">&nbsp;</td> <td width="751" height="18"> <!-- FOOTER --> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber2" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber4" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="100%"> <hr width="80%" color="#6699cc"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="center"> <span> <font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="#top">Back to top</a></font> </span> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber3" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Home.htm"><span>Home</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../News.htm"><span>News</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Results.htm"><span>Results</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Archives.htm"><span>Archives</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Forum.htm"><span>Forum</span></a></font></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2">©The Gentlemen of West London Cricket Club 2010</font></p> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>
