My club had Aizaz Cheema about 6 years ago, who may play for Pakistan against England tomorrow. My mate is the 1st team 'keeper, and said it was a painful experience.

Best pro I've seen is Steve Pope at my old club Truro CC, a South African batsmen who had an unbelievable amount of time when at the crease compared with anybody else I've seen close up. Always averaged around the 80-90 mark in his 3 seasons at the club.

You played at Truro? How long ago? Popey hits a hard ball from the sounds of things, was down there last year and you could hear all the club stalwarts talking about him, clearly quite revered there!

I played all my junior & senior cricket at Truro until I moved away in 2005 for work purposes after university. I didn't play in the match or see the innings, but he hit a century off 38 balls in (I think) his last game for the club, the Cornish league cup final. A lot of the club's members still mention that innings given any opportunity. Were you playing a tour match against Truro last year?

Our club as had an overseas pro for every season I can remember, best we've had is Mark Gillespie, the new zealander

We've got a kiwi fast bowling all-rounder who plays for a state team out there, not sure of his name or any other details but apparently he is keen to come over! Watch this space...

He'll get some every game surely!!!

It is funny in a way as in the US majority of players are overseas ones (including me); only difference is, we pay to play and are pure amateurs...lol

I wouldn't! He won't bounce you, he'l beam you!

Every team has its idiot, I can picture ours doing it from the sidelines!!

Nah mate, I've got family down there so I'm there every summer for a few weeks. Get to watch my fair share of quality cricket there though, caught a few county matches, and got Caddick's Testimonial match as well. My uncle's dad is the president, I think! (Not entirely sure, I don't see him much, but it's either president or chairman, I think president though, and has been for a number of years.)

Completely true. I watched him play against a team in our league and he beamed the same guy twice and was taken out of the attack. His figures weren't great either. Let me have a search on Play Cricket and see if I can find it.
