St. Anne's Allstars had fought back hard after losing their openers early to an inspired spell by Sumit Kumar, but extras proved decisive and within one run accounted for The Gents' win. Himanshu Desai followed his marathon 28-over vigil for 41 with an exemplary display behind the timbers, not conceding a single bye on a lively wicket. Indeed, the hosts' fielding was sound throughout. The variable bounce attracted comment and the pitch certainly posed a few challenges, which made the innings of Desai and Morgan all the more meritorious.</p> <p>St. Anne's did not lack quality in their team and included Salix's former captain Tony Fletcher and Village's captain Alan White, both of which sides Gents will meet in September. It was a most interesting side, with a father/son combination and a bowler of Chinamen (left-arm wrist spin). The Gents debuted Mark Jones and George Wright, two surnames replete with history in the club's annals. Both lads made a positive contribution. The Gents raced to 20 off 2 overs as the extras piled up, and maintained a scoring rate of five an over until 14 year-old Gus Grant's off spin and Haddow-Allen's wily seam applied the brakes towards the end of the innings. Batsmen came and went, most getting a start, but at 93-6 after 18 overs the hosts were facing an undignified total. Desai junior batted masterfully, however, and received staunch support from Kumar, both adapting to the conditions wisely. Their stand of 44 broke no records, but was the highest of the day. After Kumar shelled a caught and bowled, Desai fell off strike for a few overs and eventually departed 9 short of a deserved maiden fifty. When Tristan Haddow-Allen is the eighth bowler you know any runs will have been hard earned. So it proved and 157 was a satisfactory total.</p> <p>Allstars started their innings attritionally, just 35 runs coming in 14 overs, Kumar and Khan (the former bowled through) showing their intelligence as bowlers with accuracy and movement. As often happens, the distribution of wickets was lopsided with Kumar bowling Fletcher, inducing a nick off Haddow-Allen and bowling Grant junior. Khan deserved some material success but 7-2-18-0 was a fine analysis. James Morgan was now at the crease and with Nicol began to turn the game round. They both survived tough early chances but were batting with great confidence when Hemin Patel struck in his fourth over, Desai senior diving a take a beautiful catch in the covers. White hit a towering six off the captain before holing out to mid-on two balls later but it only needed someone to stay with Morgan to the end to see St Anne's home and hosed. Buck caught Grant senior at gully to give the captain his third wicket before the pacy Jones bowled Hautot and Harrison in indifferent light. But Morgan was not throwing in the towel and took Jones for three fours in four balls before Sanjay Patel had him lbw for 73 in the 31st. over. It had been an enjoyable game with much quality in both sides. Everyone knows that one day Tristan Haddow-Allen will destroy The Gents with the bat but that day is deferred at least for another year. Thanks to the debutants, who were useful cricketers and friendly chaps whom we shall see again.</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>
