Weblet
Date of Birth
15th January 1975.
Bats
Right-handed.
Bowls
Increasingly slowly, but, being captain, as often as I please.
Specialist Fielding Position
Depending on how much I've had to drink the night before, either 1st slip or cover.
Best Batting
84 for the 3rd team vs. Ilford in July 1998 to help us win chasing 260 on the back pitch.
16 not out from 24 overs vs. Ilford at Valentines Park in August 2000 (see brother Paul's "Best Batting" description).
Best Bowling
6-21 for the 4ths vs Ardleigh Green in August 2001. We needed two wickets from the last two balls to win the game and keep up a title challenge. I bowled their no. 9 with the first then produced the best ball of my life, an inswinging yorker that cartwheeled the middle stump, on the last ball of the match. Alan Houston did a little jig of delight. Jim Lingwood enveloped me in bear hug. My ribs haven't been the same since.

Worst Moment
Calling a West Essex opponent a cheat when he walked off the
pitch because of lightning 30 miles away.
Abusing same opponent in the return fixture later that season and
having to be removed from the attack and banished to fine leg by Ken.
Drink driving.
Most Memorable Match
Away to Old Southendians last year when we had a topless
sunbather watching us from the deep backward point boundary. Gary Coulson took some cracking photos. Couldn't tell you what happened in the game. Think Swanny may have got a few.
