CLUB CHARACTERS ....."Who's who" around the club ! 7 of 21

7. SIMON KELLY


Club role : Player and Treasurer

Previous clubs : OT'S, The Cricketers, Fair Oak

Batting style : I like to think I can play shots all round the wicket.....am definitely not a slogger !

Bowling style : Slow, straight, off spin

Best cricketing moment : Captaining Fair Oak 2nds to the County 5 title. We were the first Fair Oak side to win a HCL league title

Worst cricketing moment : Last seasons lack of regular players

Funniest cricketing moment : Mating donkeys stopping play at Burley, and seeing Rishi Vadgama out anyone of three ways to the same delivery. He could have been out LBW, hit wicket or stumped all to the same ball........on top of that his boot somehow came off in the process !

Favourite ground : Allotment Road, Sarisbury Green

Least favourite ground : Not sure I have one.......well, perhaps Lords if it's raining

Favourite post match pub : Black Horse

Least favourite post match pub : The Dog and Crook if they forget to let us know they are closed for a wedding !

Five favourite cricketers : Barry Richards, Gordon Greenidge, Andy Roberts, Kevin Pietersen, and just before Malcolm Marshall I shall plump for Darren Jacobs !
