AGE - 46
CLUBS PLAYED FOR – Freemans Reach CC (Australia), Beacon CC (England), Glenmore CC (Canada)
GLENMORE CC DEBUT – June 2001

BOWLING STYLE – Awfully unorthodox right handed reverse googly’s.
PREFERRED FIELDING POSITION - Slips or gully.
CAREER BEST SCORE / GLENMORE BEST SCORE – 74* / 31* (I know, see Batting Style)

BEST CRICKETING MOMENT(S) – Playing my first game with Jordan and Joshua. It’s just a shame the day was spoilt by me nearly breaking Josh’s leg with a straight drive.
BEST MOMENT(S) FOR GLENMORE CC – Captaining the Blues Team this year. I am very excited for these young players to continue their cricketing journey.
BEST PLAYER YOU'VE PLAYED WITH – I don’t know, I played with some good Pro’s in England! The best player I never played with was Don Bradman.
WHAT'S A WORSE FEELING, DROPPING A CATCH OR GETTING A DUCK? – I’ll let you know when one happens.
FAVOURITE GROUND(S) – SCG, St Ives Cricket Ground Cornwall and in Calgary, Westwinds.

BEST THING ABOUT GLENMORE CC – The people!
ONE THING YOU WOULD CHANGE ABOUT CALGARY CRICKET – I would improve the quality of the cricket grounds.
IDEAS TO HELP THE CLUB – I have a few but the major one would be getting our own ground and clubhouse. We are well on the way to developing our Juniors so having a future for them is very important.
ALL TIME FAVOURITE CRICKETER - Steve Waugh
OTHER SPORTING HEROES – Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Jarome Iginla, John Eales, Steve Mortimer and anyone who has ever worn the baggy green (yes even Peter Taylor!).
