Its been a long time coming folks but heres the latest member interview! Its a good-un 8)
What standard of cricket do you play?
Not very high, don't take cricket especially that seriously. Football's always been my first sport, cricket equipment is sometimes more fun than the actual game! I don't bother with training, just play the game for fun and if I score a few runs then great. I pride myself on quality fielding though.
Best Cricketing moment?
Taking a diving catch off my brothers bowling in his first Snr game.
Best bat ever owned? How Many bats have you owned/used/experienced?
Fusion Superbest or Impala Redback probably used 40+ but owned and used for more than a game probably no more than 10. Often just buy bats as they're cheap, use them once and if they're not amazing I'll sell on for a profit.
Ever been scammed when buying/selling cricket gear?
Nah, had some stuff nicked from my bag. Someone took a fancy to the set of Fusion gloves I had, managed to steal two LH ones so now I'm stuck with 2 RH Fusion gloves!
Funniest on field moment?
Managing to take a wicket more than likely, very rarely bowl and when I do it's often embarassing.
Tell us something we dont know about Fusion? Grin
There's going to be big changes for next year.
Best Sledge/ sledging moment?
Never have sledged, tend to stay quite quiet on the field. Occasionally make a few quips, but that's usually about our own players.
Cricket Role model?
KP probably.
Cricket goods buying tip for everyone lol?
Choose a bat on feel rather than stickers or endorsements.

Intersting reading Tom. Learnt some stuuf about you I never really knew. I imagined you to be a very good quality cricketer who wasnt really a fan of football! How wrong could I be!
-
yeah learnt some stuff, already knew he was a big derby fan but never expected him to have kp as a role model
-
Yeah hes a derby fan... me and him have a bet on...
Whoevers team finishes higher in the table gets a tenner :p
(QPR and Derby)

Well derby are on their way up, won for the first time in a year yesterday.

KP may be a strange choice but he's really gained my respect for a few bits he's done to help out friends. He's been given the label of cocky and disliked by the media but from friends who have dealt with him and people I know well in the England set up they've all said he's completely different.
When he's on form there's also few like him, I think he's a great choice of captain for England.

so are we having these all the time now?
-
have to say leo u should be £10 to the good come the end of the year! a quick question Tom how did u get into the buying/selling of bats?
-
Through Ebay really, mainly just bought bats to use but when I didn't like them I ended up selling. Made a good profit on a few and began to realise what was valuable in a bat. So imported a few bits from India and built up a few good contacts via that and the forums.
