Return to Brentwood CC Member Profiles

Nickname/s
Abdul, Rouncy, Spider Sam (according to Eddy Allen because I 'spin a web').

Bats
Right-handed.

Bowls
Right arm off-spin with the odd quicker ball. Will occasionally bowl medium away swing in nets if my spin is getting slapped around a bit.

Specialist Fielding Position
Anywhere on the leg side - particularly square leg.

Best Batting
46* for Brentwood School (B)! against Forest. Best batting for the club 16* for the U16s after a 40 run 10th wicket partnership with Joe Early against Benfleet. (We still lost by about 35!)

Best Bowling
2-1-2-4 for the club against Shenfield (inc. a hat trick). I was on to bowl a third over, but young one let Denman bowl the last over (fair enough) so i missed out on a 5- !

Previous Clubs
Billericay.

Brentwood CC Member since
2003

On-field Club duties
Resident Colts number 11. 5th XI umpire on regular occasions.

Awards
U15/16 clubman of the year 2006. Hat tricks (2 in a season trophy - not sure if that really counts!!).

Little known personal facts
I am one of very few people willing to admit that I am an Ipswich Town season ticket holder (because we are so awful).

Sporting hero(es)
Lance Armstrong, Kevin Pietersen, Monty Panesar.

Hobbies or Interests
Cricket, Table Tennis at home (i'm so good!), Ipswich etc. etc.

Worst Moment
During the U15 Cup Final. I faced my first ball and it hit my pads. Chris (who was on about 35* at the time) ran straight towards me, and he was given run out, not me. I'm still sure that if I had sacrificed my wicket we would have won, but we'll never know.

Most Memorable Match
U15s against Shenfield when I took 4 wickets for 2 runs, or when in the cup semi-final I took 3 wickets with the first 3 balls of my spell for the U15s.

Other
Pete Lowman is, and always will be, a legend of a manager!
