Inspired by a powerful 85 (17 fours) from Australian Jess Murray, Northfields posted 207-6 on a perfect day for batting. No Gent could manage anything like that in reply, although some doughty batting from the lower order at least ensured respectability. The 33 fours and a six scored by the visitors compared to 20 fours and a six by The Gents. Too many long-hops and full-tosses were bowled by the hosts, who did not defend the short boundaries as well as they might have done. The Northfields scouts provided, as did the Pak boys three weeks before, an object lesson in deep groundfielding.</p> <p>Yet there were early successes, as Kumar bowled Jinmans and Jones ran out Darren with a terrific pick up and throw from mid-off, 10-2. The Australian Mallon and powerful South African Jones then gave Murray good support as the score mounted. Newcombe yorked Mallon with a peach first ball but The Gents were unable to sustain the pressure and runs came freely on a warm afternoon. Hemin Patel worked hard for his successes - two neat catches in the deep by cover-point Sachin Desai and mid-wicket Buck - but at a price. Murray was largely untroubled, though The Gents did their best in the field. Perhaps the after effects of the Sciberras wedding were beginning to tell, but the innings concluded in complete farce as seven runs came off the last ball, a regulation single being upgraded by two overthrows, the second of which hurtled to the boundary to some choice invective from scorer Burman, his most robust outburst for some years. </p> <p>The provision of tea was outsourced to a nearby café. This worked well and there time to enjoy the erudite reminiscences of those Gents in attendance at the nuptials of Mr. Sciberras and Miss McAloon. The captain set out his batting order, though only down to seven, an odd recent trend in the club at a time when the top-order is proving less than solid. Buck lofted one four but was caught trying a second and when Shu Desai swept to square-leg. It was another poor start. Though in no sort of form, Naveed Khan gritted it out bravely and hopes briefly rose when Sachin Desai was off the mark with a stylish clip through square-leg, only for him to become the first of four victims for Aussie wicketkeeper McCabe minutes later. After a brief flurry of boundaries, Khan and Kumar fell in quick succession followed by the captain edging behind to give Easton his third wicket off his final ball. Credit then the later batsmen, led by Dubey who showed style and resilience. Runs were coming at slightly less than five an over, so there was a possibility of a Gents' victory, though with no obvious flaws in the bowling or fielding (eight catches were taken) it was always going to be difficult. Northfields defended the boundaries like men possessed and there were few loose balls. Dubey (six fours), Newcombe, Jones (who lofted a six into the trees), Toft and the injured Palmer can hold their heads up.</p> <p>Thus was completed the ProCricket 100 innings scorebook, reduced in price at Arnolds Leisure in West Ealing because of its wonky printing. Topped with the Purley Arms débâcle in June 2008, scored in foppish purple ink and tailed with this simple defeat, it recorded much intervening success and will be forever treasured.</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>
