width="5%" /> <td> <a name = "#Report"></a> <h2><u>Report</u></h2> <br /> <h5> <p>The conjunction of the worst batting and fielding performances of the season saw The Gents suffer a record margin of defeat, leaving behind the 159 runs pounding inflicted by Exiles a few miles up the road in Surbiton in 2001. The adhesive qualities shown at Brentham were completely lacking, the result being capitulation in fewer than half of the overs available. Village outclassed The Gents in all respects, expressing surprise after at the ease of the conquest. A dismal day on and off the pitch was put into perspective by the awful news that Himanshu Desai had broken his leg the day before playing football. The club sends its best wishes to him.</p> <p>Village's captain Bowman opened the bowling for St. Anne's Allstars in the 2009 tour match and brought along their Tony Grant to make up the XI. Battle was joined at 1.30pm after several Gents were delayed, the attack being opened by Waleed and Naveed Khan, uncle in black tracksuit bottoms due to a kit crisis. His bejeaned brother Shezhad kindly filled in as substitute fielder until the late arrivals pitched up.</p> <p>Given that the eventual total of 252 has only been beaten thrice by Gents opponents it is strange but true to record that the bowling was not too bad. The ball beat the bat on occasion but despite the occasional irregular bounce the mottled pitch held up well. The batting was talented and Australian, almost classical in the way that the innings reached its crescendo. It took Gents 18 overs to separate the openers, a smart run out by Sanjay Patel of Hindle. Loonstra (12 fours) provided the foundation of the innings, surviving a drop to score a fine 69 in 32 overs. Successes for The Gents were few. The injured Hemin Patel bowled Harty with a double-bouncer for an aggressive 51 thrashed in only 14 overs. Kumar, who is getting some good victims this season, struck twice in his fifth over and Sanjay's perseverance was rewarded with Ilyas's wicket. Regarding the fielding one word will suffice: abysmal. Fielders danced over the ball allowing it to dribble to the boundary, catches were dropped or not attempted, the throwing in was untidy and extras glutted. At least forty soft runs were conceded. At 204-4 after 35 overs The Gents had a slight chance, but Littlejohns and Ilyas stepped up the pace, Hampton coming at the end to smite a six (one of four in the dig) and a four. It rained runs all over cloudy Kingston. </p> <p>The tea supplied by the new shower of tossers in the Albion was deep fried rubbish that if served in a correctional institute would cause a riot and for which The Gents were too embarrassed to charge their guests. Nor were they willing to supply mid-innings drinks. Two malnourished teams resumed at 5.30pm. Matthew Boa, bowling brisk left-arm over, then destroyed The Gents with a sterling 6-25. Bowman provided crucial support as Village held some spectacular catches and when they were asked brave groundfielding. Hamid Khan, Hibbert (dot, six, dot, four, caught), Gilkes and Hemin Patel, the last two adding a brave 28 for the last wicket, at least made double figures. It was all over by 6.45pm. The past-match interlude was almost spoilt by a local neanderthal, who should not be allowed to breed, attempting to join The Gents in conversation. Well played Village, a top team. If they read this, please believe that The Gents are not usually this bad. </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>
