Cricket Team Player Profiles

 

Name Batting Type Bowling Type Fielding Position Most Likely Fine Narrative
Dave Watson Right Hand / Moderate / Opener Slow Left Arm Slip / Mid Off Showboating / No Fine Fine Colombians only ever Captain has overseen the sides rapid ascent through the leagues with his wiley field placings and after match prowess in the Rockmount.  Founder Member of the Cricket Team
Guy Mallett Right Hand / Aggressive / Middle Order Right Arm Medium Fast / Aggressive Fine Leg Wides Aggressive Batsman and Bowler, when in the mood can swing games for his side single handedly, hits the ball very hard and if he really gets going will destroy a bowling attack.  Founder Member of the Cricket Team
Luke Jager Right Hand / Aggressive / Slogger Right Arm Unpredictable Bouncers Cover / Mid Wicket Nipples / Grazing / Duck Jager Jnr is a legend in the nets but has only shown brief glimpses of his talent whilst in the middle,  his fielding ranks amongst the most entertaining in the world.
Richard Radford Right Hand / Moderate / Lower Middle Order Errr No! Wicket Keeper/ Cover Point Drop Aka Jonty or Run a Ball Reg, this versatile cricketer has recently taken to keeping wicket and looks like taking Ruperts place behind the stumps
Philip Radford Right Hand / Moderate / Middle Order Right Arm Medium / Defensive Mid Off / Point No Fine Fine Colombians best batsman so far this season, has consistently batted for longer periods than anyone else thus far in the Division 4 campaign with a sensible approach, his part time bowling proving an effective tool in early matches.  Founder Member of the Cricket Team
Richus Nel Right Hand / Aggressive / Middle Order Right Arm Fast / Psychotic  Mid On / Mid Off Wides / Drop The third of 4 South African imports signed by Colombians and arguably the most effective, this opening bowler can also bat a bit, smashing PwC for a 44 ball 100 coming in at number 5. 
Darren West Right Hand / Aggressive / Middle Order Right Arm Medium / Bends it like a banana Third Man Nipples Pimped from Specsavers at the beginning of the 2004 season, Westy soon stamped his authority as the chief nipple offender on the fines front.  Can bowl an unplayable wicket taking deliveries followed up by 3 wides and then another uplayable wicket taking delivery. Also has the ability to score quick runs, but does not run quickly.
Andrew Ewing Right Hand / Moderate / Middle Order Right Arm Medium / Moderate Fine leg / Slip / Wicket Keeper Wides / Spurs Shirt!? New signing for the 2005 season moving across from Division 4 rivals Irregulars with the promise of winning cricket.  This all rounder has settled into the side well and reguarly takes key wickets.  Unfortunately our record since signing Spewing is pld 6, won 2, lost 4.
Stuart Malley Right Hand / Out / Tailender White Merv Dillon Sweeping on the Boundary Anything Another new signing for the 2005 season and a newcomer to the game of cricket.  Pulled off the greatest piece of fielding ever seen in his first game, preventing a certain 4 and then threw the ball to the edge of the boundry on the other side of the pitch.  Not a batsman, but could be a bowler of some repute.  Similar features to Merv Dillon.
Matt Watson Right Hand / Aggressive / Middle Order Right Arm Fast / Aggressive Slip Has yet to play a game The most recent and only big money signing for Colombians, pimped in from Cobo at great expense following our recent run of poor form.  This talented all rounder should be far too good for Division 4 but only time will tell if he can become a Colombian Cricketer of repute.
John Norman Right Hand / Moderate / Lower Middle Order ? Covering everyone else No Pub Still at school and learning the Colombian way John has played one evening league match so far and looks like a useful addition in the field.  Could have won the game against Cavaliers after showing his intent with a fiercly struck four through the leg side.  Unfortunately Stu was the other batsman and got stumped trying to play a very agricultural shot!
Kees Jager Right Hand / Aggressive / Middle Order Right Arm Medium Scorer No Show Should be the most talented batsman in the side, with the hand eye co-ordination to stop a hockey ball travelling at 100mph+ facing 30mph trundlers should pose no problem.  Also has the height to be an extremely dangerous bowler, unfortunately his love of beer and hockey has prevented this gentle giant fulfilling his potential.  Currently injured so reverted to official scorer
Chad Murray Right Hand / Blocker / Tailender Right Arm Grenade Leg Side Ring of Steel Boasting Navy Boy Chad is currently building a boat in Scotland for the Colombian Navy and has been restricted to only one outing so far this season, brilliant in the field and the pub and a genius with birds.
Mort Mirghavameddin Right Hand / Aggressive / Middle Order Right Arm Medium Point / Cover Showboating Mort has yet to make an appearance this season, work commitments have kept Mort busy to meet the sponsorship fee demanded by the Cricket team.
Rupert Iles Right Hand / Test Match / Middle Order Right Arm Leg Spin Wicket Keeper Bad Form Limited appearances during 2005 due to his study commitment have given opposition batsmen a rest from the constant sledging from behind the stumps.  Comes in at 4 or 5 to steady the ship after Bezerker and Guido have gone down in a blaze of glory, only runs when he has played a shot.  His Dad is a legend so we will let him off.  Founder Member of the Cricket Team
Peter Carey Right Hand / Aggressive / Opening Batsman Right Arm Medium / Right Arm Off Spin Mid Off / Cover Point Bad Form Signed in 2003 with the promise of early finishes and trips to the Rockmount, Colombians cricket didn't dissapoint, one match in 2003 finished by 6.15 after the opposition were reduced to 7 players after mid on tried to catch a steepler from Guido with his head.  Consistently scored between 22 - 28 during 2004.  Has not enjoyed a great start to the season in 2005, getting into double figures in 5 out 6 attempts but only going on to make the 20's twice.
Chris Harvey Right Hand / Aggressive / Tailender Right Arm Fast Fine Leg Not let letting us use his house for parties Opening bowler of some repute, beats the edge as often as he eats pies, currently at University and enjoying the good life.  Due to return to these shores on 17th June at which point the Colombians season will no doubt improve.
Ali Carey Right Hand / Moderate / Middle Order Right Arm Slow Slip / Covers No Pub The oldest player in the side by 20 years was pimped in from Optimists in 2003 with a proven track record of playing for winning sides, unfortunately age and injury have caught up and now plays a handful of matches each year as and when required.
Ollie Goddard Right Hand / Blocker / Tailender Right Arm Grenade In the Pub - Founder Member of the Cricket Team hasn't played for at least a season but is a willing backup player should all else fail
Paul Ridley Right Hand / Aggressive / Lower Middle Order Don't Know Wicket Keeper   Infamous for getting hit in the head whilst wicket keeping in Sark, plays the pull shot or forward defensive only.
