Match Report - Gilkes provides two
buffets but Gents still win |
|
Gents lost
the toss again and were put in to bat by Enterprise, writes Richard Gilkes. The
innings started shakily as Bill, Rich and Justin all fell cheaply leaving us
struggling at 5/3. However Nabil and debutant Roydon put on 65 for the next
wicket before a dodgy call for a second from Nabil resulted in a run out for the
newcomer. He had however made 26. Nabil followed shortly for 30 given lbw by
Bill. Obviously disappointed to get the finger as he thought he had got some bat
on it he waited around. When Sanjay was caught on the boundary next up we were
struggling at 82/6. The Wright-Buck partnership sensibly steadied the ship:
Bucky couldn’t hit the ball off the square but managed 14 singles. Jimmy looked
in good touch getting 29 and with Hemin 16 and debutant Mr. Harris getting 10
with Ketan 6 not out we were up to a fairly decent 168 all out.
After a tea provide by Gilkes and Flack (sounds like a dodgy pop act),
Enterprise went about chasing down the runs with the explosive Plimmer hitting
some magnificent shots. Harris was a little wayward with his first two overs (he
hadn’t played for a couple of years) but his third over was magnificent bowling
two of their batsmen. Ketan picked up two good wickets as Enterprise started
losing wickets on a regular basis. Plimmer finally fell with the score on 73 but
he had scored a magnificent 47 and with two wickets as well was a man of the
match candidate. Sanjay obviously thought he had the game in the back as he
invited me to have a go for my Hat-Trick. First ball of the over wasn’t bad but
the other 9 that followed were ugly. Surprisingly given another over (9 balls) I
bowled an absolute beauty that moved back in off the seam after it had bounced
five times and knocked over Fitzgerald;s stumps. Shame as he had 22 runs and had
ruined my figures. Bucky wrapped up the match and we headed back to the Victoria
where for the first time in months we were outnumbered by the oppo who all
showed up bar one. That guys isn’t good enough – the pub needs you! Finally a
big welcome to Mr, Harris and Mr. Bailey. You are welcome back anytime. |
