broiling heat, The Gents produced an inspired team performance to reverse the recent run of defeats and retain the Bob Ashton Memorial Cup. Chasing a hard-earned 133 to win, West XI seemed in control at 93-4 but a mad tumble of wickets inspired by brilliant fielding and catching saw them fall short by 11 runs, the final four wickets falling for one run. Hemin Patel produced a personal best bowling return, his quintet of victims including the empurpled trio of Dane, who struck his sixth fifty in this series, Taylor and Rowan Allerton. Rudru and Iqbal also bowled superbly and a series of wonderful catches stuck. A redemptive effort in West XI's innings was needed, as once again the Gents' batting was inconsistent, the exceptions being Rudru and Sanjay Patel plus some intelligent, steely batting by the tail.</p> <p>Gilkes successfully called tails and though torn on the matter decided to bat, 35 overs a side and a new ball for each innings. Boden ripped out the top three Gilkes, Khan and Sachin Desai in short order before Iqbal played over Taylor, bowled through and setting his usual challenges. Rudru and Sanjay Patel settled the innings down before Patel was well caught by a diving short extra-cover. Shu Desai came and went but this Gent side batted deep and Newcombe batted solidly for ten overs as Patel played the bowling with confidence before Wright had him, one of four. He would return the compliment later in the afternoon. Hemin Patel was bowled Hill, but after Newcombe's dismissal senior professionals Buck, Snelling and Toft batted well and took The Gents up to a score that was below par but still competitive on a dustbowl wicket that helped the bowlers.</p> <p>Since West XI's fifth wicket comprised 67 of the 120 runs scored, there were by definition two periods in which ball was dominant over bat. The first of these was the blistering open spell from Iqbal, though the slower Rudru matched him for guile. The spectacular caught and bowled of previous week's centurion Boden started the early jollity, Bapu following bowled Rudru before the hostile Iqbal cleaned up the Aylotts. Dane's marathon 25-over vigil was worthy of the highest praise and with Taylor his usual defiant self the pair played Sanjay Patel, Snelling and Khan with dogged concentration and no little skill.</p> <p>The retirement of Snelling with a pulled muscle set Gilkes further challenges, to which he rose with a smile on his face. No heads were dropping and the introduction of Hemin Patel in the 22nd. over changed the match. A diving Newcombe caught Taylor at short extra-cover four overs later and in the 28th. Allerton drove to long-off. West XI were still favourites with Dane and Wright at the crease but an agile Shu Desai stumping (the first time Hemin Patel had taken Dane's wicket) saw off the captain. The rest of the wickets then fell with alacrity. Sanjay Patel bowled Wright to whoops of delight before Cattee was deceived in the flight and bowled. Iqbal took a high catch running back to see off Delanian in Rudru's final over and West XI, like The Gents batting 12, were 119-10 off 33 overs. Dave Laing then became Hemin's fifth victim lofting to mid-off and The Gents had won in a frenzy of excitement. Commiserations are given to the sporting West XI boys who came so close.</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>
