Players

(statistics do not include current season)

Damian Kandiah (RHB)

An exciting early order batsman who has definite prospects if he can learn to choose which ball to smash and which to block. Age is on his side and he could well mature into a decent player as long as he doesn't listen to some of the bolloquious advice proferred by some of his more senior team mates. A notable non-bowler. Studying a reasonbly useful subject at Kings in London.

M 70, R 1113 (18.24), W 3 (75.33), Ct 14.

Steve Whitfield (LHB?/SLA)

A genuine ferret in any team (they are the ones that go in after the rabbits), the runs that he does acquire are rarely, if ever, in front of the bat. His slow left arm offerings are delivered with considerable accuracy (described as niggling) and this has helped him accumulate over 300 wickets since he joined the club from Elmstead. A specialist fine leg fieldsman who throws like a very young girl. A budding naturist, he appears to have been at the cookie jar over the winter.

M 248, R 313 (4.11), W 344 (23.66), Ct 28.

Kieran Savill (RHB/OB)

Middle son of true legends in Abberton circles; father Brian was always a formidable opponent in the bar and mother Jane created some astonishing teas! Quite a beast himself when the mid-match interval arrives, he is nonetheless a solid top-to-middle batsman and obviously does something with the ball. Not the most sprightly teenager in the field where he seems to possess the mobility of a rogue shopping trolley. Could often benefit from a visit to the barbers.

M 69, R 698 (19.38), W 84 (22.25), Ct 22.

Richard Scratcher (RHB/RM)

Lethargic middle order batsman who prefers only to play away games after falling out with the ancient bar critics following an unsuccessful innings in 2005. Bowls gentle away swing which would have been better rewarded if our slip fieldsmen could catch. Falls asleep in the field if he can get away with it. Rumoured to be a soap dropper in the showers.

M 16, R 171 (19.00), W 5 (20.80), Ct 5.

Ben Woodrow (RHB/SRA)

Uncompromising lower order batsman who plays the numbers game when choosing which delivery to try to heave out of the ground. Some 92% of his runs come from boundaries as he is unwilling (or unable) to transport himself from one end to the other. Bowling should go unmentioned as should his appearances in the field which are not to be confused with fielding. Promising scorer and highly proficient tea gatherer! Spent a wasteful £300 on a bat last season.

M 101, R 785 (9.23), W 11 (47.90), Ct 15.
