[northernboy1987]

Name: Matthew/Matty/Matt

Age: Just turned the ripe old age of 29 last weekend

Top score: 52* on 3 separate occasions!
 
Best figures: 4-2

Teams played for: Isel C.C, Baggrow & Blennerhasset C.C   Village and proud

Favourite bat: Kooka Biggest Kahuna or Woodworm Flame, although my current H4L Hellfire and B3 Pepsi are awesome, haven't had enough time with them yet!

Best food for tea: Incredibly Northern. Will eat almost anything that moves or grows.

Batting style: Sashay down the wicket and heave across the line.

Bowling style: Either Colly-esque medium dobbers with lots of slower balls or disgusting off spin that doesn't turn very often.

Interesting fact: Due to various other commitments (work and being in a touring band) I haven't played a weekend game since my late teens so my cricket career of late (and therefore best batting/bowling stats) is entirely T20 based, I'm convinced that if I had played weekend cricket over the past 10 years my high score would be at least 53 maybe even 54

Name: Ben (although it seems I have adopted Benji for this forum)

Age: 16

Top score: 36 (t20), 34 (Sunday league), 12 (TVL)

Best figures: 4-6 (t20), 4-24 (TVL)

Teams played for: Royal Ascot CC, Finchampstead CC

Favourite bat: My Mongoose COR3

Best food for tea: Pulled Pork

Batting style: Can either play technically correct or try to hit everything over the bowlers head, usually the second method is more successful surprisingly

Bowling style: Right-Arm "whipper-snapper," generally moves away but depending on the ball sometimes it moves back in

Interesting fact: I played for Royal Ascot 2s before playing in the 4s as a 14 year old. No idea why, looking at my stats I'm not great.

It's not the stats that count Benji - it's the heart!!

Within that youthful pigeon chest of yours, beats the heart of a Lion!!!!!!!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

me: Tom, Mils or Millhouse as my nickname with the lads goes as we all had to have one dubbed upon us one drunken eve at the club!

Age: 33 and a half.

Top score: 124* twice.
 
Best figures: 6-7 as a Yufffff in the 4ths.

Teams played for: Repped Bristol back in the day at U16's playing at Arundel against other regions, Bristol YMCA (having just escaped 1st team captaincy for the coming season after 4 seasons of it), Filton Wayfayers on a Sunday who have now sadly folded.

Favourite bat: Screaming Cat Professional, Thanks to Roco for trading it many years back, having purchased, owned and sold a fair few bats over the years I tried out quite a few from all the respected bat makers of yesterday year but due to engagement ring, wedding and a house purchase cleared out my collection a while back now.

Best food for tea: Partial to a bit of a plough mans, if you've ever had the chance to have tea's at Wormsley though they are something to behold!

Batting style: Aggressive, they didn't create 4 and 6's for nothing. Avoid trying to run between the wickets.

Bowling style: Left Arm might make it.

Interesting fact: Have kept wicket to Simon Jones and Steve Kirby and a few other lads who don't like the club cricketer trying to slap them out the park....needless to say the competitive edge of a pro never dies as Jonah clocked a lad in the ear 2nd ball who wasn't wearing a lid! Once scored 50 off 11 balls to reach a ton only to be told I'd ruined the game having had their opener try to bounce we out who went for 30 off the over.

I traded a Screaming Cat Pro with you for a top of the range black titanium Ayrtek helmet which I still use. So what happened to that Scat? Or was I mistaken and it was a different bat I traded with you all that time ago Tom?

Captaining, won 3 leagues in a row. Losing 1 game only in 3 seasons and got a write up in local paper.

Who wrote that? Depending when it was, could have been me!

[dannyhall04]

Definitely could have been me then
