"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.

They have their exits and their entrances;
And one Toby in his time plays many parts..."

"As You Like It" – Jaques (Act II, Scene 7)

And so came the end of it all.

With his devil-may-care attitude, he charmed us. With his 'boy next door' good looks, he delighted us. And with his aggressive captaincy – amid a constant semi-state of intoxication – he gave us all the leader that we needed, but which none of us deserved.

Alas all good things must end. And like Caratacus returning to his plough, Mr Tobias Jarvis is now going to live in his mum's house in Cornwall, whilst he thinks about maybe getting a job at some point in the winter months.

And in his final game for Pacific, Toby gave us a reminder of some of the drama that we will all in time grow to miss.

It got off to a bad start. Toby shockingly lost the toss, meaning Pacific were forced to field first, much to the chagrin of his teammates.

But Jarvis immediately made amends, bowling Camel opener Lycett with just his second ball.

And it got even better. In a devastating tenth over, Toby ripped apart the Camel top order. First, a peach of a half-tracker was spooned to Jack Houlihan at extra-cover. Unplayable.

Camel number four Ghosh then picked out Tim Garrett at mid-off to leave the away team teetering on 45-3.

It was written in the stars. Could Toby pick up another two wickets to complete a five-for on his Pacific swansong? Surely a cool, long-haired, part-time off spinner wouldn't stand in his way?

I digress...

Camel number three Math put up fierce resistance, hitting a quickfire 52 off 43 balls, giving poor Rowan Lincoln-Gordon a fair amount of tonk.

But it was Matt Hoslin who really stuck a spanner in the works for Pacific, his resilient innings keeping Camel on course for a decent total.

Behind the stumps, stand-in wicketkeeper Ben Burnham was impressing, whilst regular keeper Mutz filmed more content from square leg, as he sought to avoid dislocating his finger for a third consecutive week.

Meanwhile Dan Humphrey was showing yet more evidence why he ought to be considered a bowling all-rounder, with his spell of seam bowling keeping the run rate in check.

Wickets from Khan, Khandwala and Garrett pegged Camel back to 223-7.

It was at this point that Jarvis, chasing a farewell five-for, brought himself back on to bowl.

And immediately he struck, bowling Berkson to leave himself on the cusp of glory. At the other end, on came Mark Mehta to bowl out the last two overs with his off spin.

With two wickets left, surely he wouldn't ruin Toby's big day? Alas, talent of Mehta's magnitude is hard to keep under wraps and two wickets in two balls left Toby cursing his bowling change.

And whilst Mehta was typically gracious and apologetic to Toby, everyone vehemently agreed that the result always comes ahead of any vain personal glory of Toby's.

With Camel setting 225 to win, in walked Tristan Lincoln-Gordon and Mutz Siddiqui (complete with GoPro) to begin Pacific's reply.

TLG was soon into his stride, hitting effortless boundaries off the Camel attack.

Mutz looked good for his 21, but after being given out lbw, was left cursing the umpire: "I've known him since I was five, bruv!"

Apparently loyalty counts for nothing these days...

In walked new man Jack Houlihan, whose classy batting showed why he could be one of Pacific's most exciting new players.

TLG made it past fifty and was looking in fine touch, before he shelled out for 67, to leave Pacific 134-2.

In next was meant to be Mehta – but hold on, what's this?! It couldn't be, could it? Why, that's not Mehta – but it looks like Jarvis has bumped himself up the order to come in at four!

But whilst this seriously alpha strategy left the half-watching London Fields crowd aghast, it sadly didn't have the same effect on Camel, who promptly bowled him four balls later.

Jarvis ended his farewell innings with a grand total of one and left the field to a guard of honour from his Pacific comrades.

The pantomime villain of Mehta was finally able to enter and it was from here that he and Houlihan were able to calmly guide Pacific home with the loss of no further wickets.

After the handshakes were complete, in came the beers and Mutz kindly ordered in some pizzas, as Toby gave a farewell speech and the Pacificos shared their favourite tales of Toby's time at the club.

Fare ye well Tobias. You shall be missed.

And from the stage dismiss me with applause.”
