In your face, Boris! Road show their authority over men from City Hall

Skipper Matt Cocken took his 50th wicket for King’s Road as the GLA’s men from City Hall were voted out.

He followed up with his 51st scalp to finish with 2-7 and there were also two wickets apiece for Michael Rossi (2-16) and mystery spinner Amir Alipour (2-10).

India’s No. 1 Shailesh Joshi (1-6), Jamie Keating (1-13), David Hughes (1-5) and Jack Caesar (1-7) were also in the wickets as the GLA were bowled out for 97.

King’s Road’s reply got off to a slow start, with Hughes scratching around before being clean bowled for 1, but at the other end Keats was smashing the ball on his way to 20.

Matt Small hit 14 and Mark Isham 13 but wickets came in groups like Boris Buses, with Jon Malsingh, Rossi and Cocken unable to reach double figures.

But typically aggressive batting from Caesar, who finished with 24 not out and Joshi, who was unbeaten on 6, saw The Road home with 11 balls to spare.
