It was that sort of day: chaotic, on occasions exasperating but a worthy addition to The Gents' Twenty20 memory bank. Pak were deserved winners but The Gents fought the all game and Enterprise improved considerably in the second game, with the formidable South African Gregg Cloette the best batsman on show. Sanjay Patel took his 300th. wicket in catching Dhruv Patel (one of several players who played for more than one team) off his own bowling. The run tally was a phenomenal 892 and several bowlers had their averages shredded.</p> <p>Pak were late arriving so after a period of faffing about featuring Naveed Khan with a mobile clamped to his ear, and with a maximum 120 overs to get through, Gents played Enterprise in the first game. They proceeded to their highest score of the season in perfect conditions, with retired fifties for Shu Desai (his first for the club) and Iqbal. Kumar, Dubey and Gilkes batted fluently while Hibbert was run out by a stunning throw from boundary scout Naveen. The Gents piled up 46 runs in the last three overs to set their highest score in this format and highest of a hitherto low-scoring campaign. The batsmen hit 22 fours and three sixes (Iqbal two and Hemin Patel one). Cloette looked the part in the reply but too many batsmen got a start before playing unwise shots. Ben Couzens on debut took three wickets in two overs and there were maiden wickets for Palmer and Ali. </p> <p>As losers Enterprise stayed on. Perhaps the spirit of Justin Norcott's father, who used to administer regular pep bollockings to The Gents after a defeat, was present. Perhaps they had learned after what was after all their first game of the season, but for whatever reason Enterprise gave a good account of themselves in the second game. The problem was that Pak have a superb batting line-up. Fine chaps to a man, they are however quite the most sartorially inelegant side this writer has ever seen, featuring not only the above-mentioned Fahim (green shirt, dun cut-off jeans and disgraceful pads), but also players in black shirts and black shorts. But my word, they can't half crack a cricket ball. Their 194 proved enough, though Cloette gave a gutsy masterclass in reply. </p> <p>The BBQ had been sparked up at two o'clock and players enjoyed halal burgers and sausages, Mr. Hibbert's jerk chicken and copious libations of the halal and non-halal variety. Though all the overs were bowled from the pavilion end (a ground rule for Twenty20), which should have inspired a quick over rate, frequent ball searches (seven were used), the late start, extended tea interval and searing heat and humidity made for a slow day, the final not starting until half past five.</p> <p>The Gents have been playing so long now that the plots are beginning to repeat themselves. The second West XI game the week before was a mirror image of Old Tenisons 2008 while the final here mirrored the first clash between the teams in 2005. Unfortunately, the hosts gave their worst fielding performance in weeks, dropping eight catches as Pak tore into the bowling. At 79-1 off 10 overs, poor Sanjay Patel having gone for a controversially no ball-strewn over of 22, Pak were on for a monstrous score. None of the spills was an easy chance, but drops like catches are infectious. What The Gents got right seven days before they largely got wrong here, despite some committed outfielding. A fightback worthy of the shirt partly clawed back the game, Snelling, Iqbal and Dhruv Patel being the pick of the bowlers. Pak were restricted, if that be the correct word to describe run a ball mayhem, to 69 runs off the last ten overs. Their batsmen all impressed, George and Maani striking venomous sixes off Hemin Patel and the promising Couzens.</p> <p>Inconsistent batting plagued the The Gents, the score moving to 76-5 after 13 overs. Iqbal was his usual assertive self but the outfielding on a bumpy ground was fearless and cut off a dozen drives destined for the ropes. Sanjay and Dhruv Patel then rolled back the years to bring The Gents back to parity with a stand of 49 in five overs, 23 coming from Naveed's brother Shehzad's last over including two Sanjay fours and seven wides. At 114-5 off 16 overs the game was winnable and excitement mounted as the next two went for 12 and eight. That left fifteen needed to win in two. Alas, Dhruv was run out just short of a second and Sanjay caught at gully as only three runs came off the loaned Ali's excellent third over. Nine came off the first five balls Naveed's final over with some super running but Hemin Patel could not connect with the last ball and was stumped. </p> <p>Pak are gentlemen and played hard but fair cricket. It was good to see them again and one hopes this fixture will become an annual event, though matters such as the start time and over rate need to be addressed. It was possible in the Old President's Cup days to finish three Twenty20 games by half past seven, so why not now? </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>
