<!-- MATCH REPORT --> <table> <tr> <td width="5%" /> <td> <a name = "#Report"></a> <h2><u>Match Report</u></h2> <br /> <h5> <p>The Gents poor run of form continued when they were outplayed in every aspect by the talented Old Tenisonians, who fielded five first XI players from their Surrey County League fixture the day before. That their Saturday firsts are currently propping up the league with eight defeats and a losing draw in nine games says much about the standard of that league. Their side was simply too good. Despite this, The Gents should have done better. Rhoden and Kain were dropped early, though the brutal innings of 53 year-old Perkins, acquired in just 17 overs, was chanceless.</p> <p>Captain Neil Osborne offered a declaration game, which was spurned by Gilkes, won the toss and batted. There was therefore the immediate risk that the hosts would bat The Gents out of the game and that is exactly what happened, Rhoden, Kain and Perkins becoming the first opposing triumvirate to score fifties since 12 Angry Men s Wilson (who went on to a ton), Bullock and Anderson in 2001. The Gents response that day, 164 chasing 285, was at least more dignified. Young Rhoden and Kain hit nine fours apiece and Perkins 18 out of 39 boundaries in all, including a Kain six. It was to say the least hard work for the bowlers and fielders.</p> <p>The wickets were hard earned. Osborne chipped the game Newcombe to cover, Dhruv Patel got Kain with an identical dismissal off a full-toss the ball after a six had disappeared over the mid-wicket boundary and Hemin Patel splendidly induced a middle-order tremor. Sanjay Patel was tight, bowling three successive maidens and Newcombe beat the bat on occasion and deserved his wickets. Shanvare bowled well and was unlucky. The other bowlers suffered, particularly Horace Hibbert, whom Perkins twice took for 16 in an over. The batting was tremendous, however, the best seen for some years. </p> <p>Osborne revealed at tea that had his proposed format been adopted, he would have declared earlier and given The Gents longer to chase the runs. As it was, the captain was right to observe that The Gents needed to get off to a flyer with the bat but lost wickets early to put the remaining batsmen under more pressure. He fell to a good low catch at point, the first of four to the expensive but penetrative Borgust, bowled through with the superbly accurate left-arm over Andrew McNestrie, who conceded only nine run in his first seven overs. </p> <p>This spell effectively won the game, though Newcombe (22 in 21 overs), Hibbett (lbw the ball before drinks after a brisk 29) and Hemin Patel batted soundly. The required rate rose and rose but it was disappointing that The Gents did not bat 40 overs on a perfect track, the run out of Sciberras scampering a tight second being not the only silly dismissal. In truth, the game was over long before the required rate became stratospheric. The total of 118 was the third successive suboptimal score, coming after 100, 124 and 136. Only two Gent fifties have been scored all season, compared to nine by the opposition. That, not the loss of some talented players, is the problem. The squad has it in them to do much better than this. It has proved it before.</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>
