Awards
Too numerous to list but will tell Pies all about them in 2005 unless he retracts his comment that, "He wouldn't pick me if I was the last player on earth."

Little known personal fact
Rocky was purchased from a sperm donor clinic. His biological father was a first class cricketer in Sri Lanka who bowled leg breaks.

Wine and Internet pornography (in my professional capacity).

Worst Moment
Dropping three catches on my debut for a 4th team captained by Alan Houston. I suspect he held a similar view to Pies about my cricketing abilities.

Most Memorable Match
1st team debut vs Braintree in April 2005. For those who have not been told yet by me, there are some people at the Club who think that there may be more games in the 'Ones' on the horizon for me.
