Clapham Nomads Centuries

Hassan scored his 5th century for Nomads in the win against Exiles on 17/8.  (I thought it was more than that.  I'll check through the books again.)  And now Darwin has joined the club with a ton against Barnes Occasionals yesterday.  With Mark making his debut ton for the club in June, that is now 3 centuries - scored by different players - in the last 5 matches.  Quite something when you think that it took the club 8 and a half years to record our first hundred.  The 10 century-makers are;

2002 - Rafi (128 not out - our highest individual score)
2003 - Rafi, Acharan
2005 - Jean-Claude, Gaurang Vyas
2006 - Hassan Khan
2007 - Hassan Khan (2)
2008 - Cameron Russell
2009 - Ben Fewson (3)
2011 - Jim Joyce
2012 - Hassan Khan
2014 (so far) - Mark Bradshaw, Hassan Khan, Darwin Gunawardena

It is tough to pick the best one.  Rafi's in 2002 was against the weakest bowling (including 4 successive sixes off Renato Philip.)  I would say it was between Hassan's match-winning 104 not out last week (which John said was Hassan's best-ever innings), another of Hassan's that Emil picked out (? against Woodside Green a few years ago) and Rafi's century against Caribbean Mix in 2003.  Jim Joyce's knock in 2011 was an extraordinary attacking innings.  I will put more details and scores on this post soon.
