It was ultimately not quite good enough though (the late withdrawal of Iqbal did not help) but The Gents got most things right here. A total of 130 was probably 20 light and Salix, as they have done before, batted intelligently to settle early collywobbles and scrape a win they just deserved, the stand between Shaw and Lumsden being the matchwinner. Some promising Gents' innings remained unfulfilled and their tight bowling and committed fielding could not quite gain the day. This was the club's 24th. game of the season, a record if one inflated by the preponderance of Twenty20 cricket days at Old Tenisons and the Pro10 at Hale.</p> <p>The Gents batted first on a sunny but cool day on a well-maintained wicket. Gilkes hit three early boundaries before three wickets fell on 19, two to the ever-consistent Kulasingam. Dubey and Hibbert led a bright counter-attack, though neither could quite fathom Heaton's wind-assisted indippers. Hemin Patel got his head down and grafted, Denton was easy on the eye and Caveney prospered towards the end of the innings. It was an innings typical of the 2010 Gents: early wickets followed by brave redemption by the later batsmen. Thanks are due to Hibbert's pal Tony Thomas for helping out though the Barry White lookalike sadly suffered a golden duck on debut. Salix's seamers and spinners were effective on a lively wicket that offered turn.</p> <p>The filling scran was a tad 1956 prep school but went down well. Salix then set about their task methodically after the early dismissal of Henig, who top edged the excellent Sanjay Patel to the 'keeper running round to square-leg. After a steady 35 stand, four wickets fell quickly. Kulasingam drove Hemin Patel to mid-on Khan, who took a tumbling catch second go. Bhalla repeated the dismissal two balls later, this time a high one taken at full stretch. Dubey had bowled a troubled first over of wides and no balls but having swapped ends bowled craftily. His awayswinger did for Gavigan taken high to his right by Sachin Desai, his twelfth catch of 2010 (seventh at the wicket) to set alongside his four stumpings. When Hemin Patel bowed Dr. Fletcher Gents sniffed blood, but anchorman Shaw and Lumsden, who cut well, rebuilt the innings with a stand of 51 in 11 overs.</p> <p>The openers returned and although Hibbert remained without a wicket and conceded more runs than he would have liked, Sanjay Patel pinned Lumsden for the day's highest score. Padmore fell to Khan but Salix were nearly over the line and Shaw and Heaton saw them home at 6.15pm. It was their fifth win in seven games in this series, the Bill Flack-inspired Gents winning the first contest in 2004 and famously earning a tie in 2008.</p> <p>Salix were excellent opposition and good fun during the game, sharing frank views of some of the circuit's more controversial teams. They have some interesting personalities in their ranks so it is a pity that they do not socialise afterwards which would allow better acquaintance. The Gents repaired in convoy to the Fox in Hanwell, where the phallic shape of the cucumbers on the Burman allotments caused amusement to the less sophisticated wits. Season's end is coming but spirits remain high.</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>
