Me batting: "Must have a forcefield around the stumps".... next shot I miss, Pat Philips from S&U: "Must have a forcefield around your bat too!"

Best moments at CW
Fielding during George Simmon's match winning over against Binfield in
a kids game. It went Wicket, Wicket, Wide, Wicket, Wicket, Wicket,
giving him figures of 5 wickets for 1 run off 0.5 overs. They didn't
need many runs to win either. It was absolutely unreal.
Worst moment at CW
Tripping over the stumps when keeping. Quite embarrasing.
Best Batting
97 not out vs Sulhamstead & Ufton
Best Bowling
I leave that to the more talented sibling
Favorite Ground
Bradfield
Worst Ground
Bigshotte or Shinfield

Batting in a net session when Jack Sever was refining his bounce technique. It hurt.

Favourite comment on pitch
The short leg going "Easy wicket now boys, Young Un's Hitting it nowhere" as I took guard. I middled the ball straight into his back and he rolled around on the floor in pain.

Showing someone the shark bite and watching Gazza wet himself. Second to that, telling some girls at a club that I was Marty Pellow and Gaz was my minder

Best: 4.3 overs, 2 maidens, 7 (yes seven) for 6 (four of which were leg side widest that the keeper should have stopped) and two no balls. Worst: 3 overs nought for 31 - ooh! (overstepping)
Favourite Ground
Eversley but St. Sebs is lovely too, other than that horrible blue sign the football club put up, and the rabbit holes!
Worst Ground
Bigshite Park
Biggest fear in Cricket
Not being selected to play for the 1's... or 2's ever again! It's ageist and definitely not based on my lack of skill.

Having Avril loose her temper with me!

Friendly club, nice ground, being picked for the 1's despite my age (huh!)
Worst thing about CW
It's so far away and I never get picked for the 1's anymore.

Bigshotte Park with its so called 'pitch' and the no six zone. Can't categorize that as a cricket ground
