Nickname/s
"The Runt" or "The Disappointment" the nicknames given to me in the 2nd team due to my brother making cricket look very easy and me making it look quite hard.

Bats
Left-handed

Bowls
Medium off a few paces. I used to have a reasonable run up until I found out one day that it didn't make me bowl any quicker.

Specialist Fielding Position
I like fielding at cover, but nobody else does .... I seem to be at mid-off a lot.

Little known personal fact
Paul Prichard is my bunny. I got him out when he was playing for Essex Club and Ground. After serving up several half volleys for him to smash out of Billericay I served up another one and he played on, don't know which of us was more embarrassed.

Football, All types of music, Computers

Worst Moment
I have two that come to mind. Firstly dropping a hat-trick ball (the bowler still hasn't taken one) which was a dolly and secondly, running myself out without facing. My team all laughed at me as I walked back to the pavilion.

Most Memorable Match
Beating Hainault and Clayhall in the league cup in 2003. They were the Premier League big boys that had come along to go through the motions and put a 2nd division team out of the cup and we beat them with all their star players (4 first class players!) My personal contribution was my maiden 1st team fifty and 3 for 30.
