All players I picked I have played with at some time or other for Brentwood.

• David Smith: Steady dependable and technically correct, for me the perfect opener.
• Shane Surujbally: Light the blue touchpaper and retire to a safe distance and watch the fireworks.
• Nick Childs: Another technically gifted player with flair, very entertaining.
• Dean Goddard: Top bloke great all-rounder, the man to turn to if you needs to get the scoreboard ticking.
• Ken Lingwood: Inspirational skipper and calypso batsman "come and watch me bat" Always going for the win "we're all Kings....."
• Trevor Coote: Knows just about everything there is to know about cricket and not a bad bat either, some of my best cricketing moments were batting with Wimpey.
• Alex Priddle: Gloveman, batsman and 2nd longest in the shower.
• Ash Patel: Bowls both seam up and spin, and bats like he taught KP himself.
• Tim Barbone: Rocky, a match winning spinner and all rounder.
• Darren Clements: Quiet unassuming Aussie, with fire in his belly, liked nothing better than smashing the stumps.
• Peter Bainbridge: The most dependable bowler I've played with, must have the best "played & missed" stats in the club
