Player Profiles
Here's a few of the main characters in the soap opera that is
"Binfield Cricket Club".
Davros
Club Chairman, old bloke, Angus Fraser type plodder, gets hundreds of
wickets, amazing slower ball (leggy) which no one can pick, bit grumpy
sometimes.
Toady
1st XI senior pro, good player in his day, used to bat well, bowls
a lot now, sometimes spins it, lethal quicker ball, very red face.
Menace
Talks a lot, expert sledger, gets in fights, bats, hits everything
in the air, umpire's worst nightmare, lots of dodgy LBWs...UPDATE...has
matured very nicely. Now very reliable and sensible...yawn...
Renters
Really intelligent, witty, good-looking bloke, fantastic
allrounder, doubles up as the Webmaster and 1st XI captain. Honestly,
you've never met a nicer chap. Destined for great things (that's enough
utter garbage - Ed).
Derek "Gods" Trotter
Not at all religious, ex-captain and senior citizen, scored 3
(THREE) hundreds last year, no one knows how, getting on a bit now, plays
golf, hasn't been on a date for 4 years. Second-hand salesman, often
found peddling his wares in the most unusual places.
Cants
Opening bat, mainstay of the club, dodgy knees, looks like Father
Jack from "Father Ted", has scored about 1 million runs over
the years. Don't bowl short at him.
Riggers
Enormous bloke. Opens for 2nd XI and scores a truck-load every
year. Occasionally faints. Once a danger to local married women. Not any
more. Funny accent.
The Edge
Even more enormous. Baby-faced assassin. Bludgeons all types of
bowling. Sulks when he's out though. Huge leg spinner but too risky to
try in a match.
Yorkie
Complex nickname. Renowned local left arm fast bowler. Forgot how
to do it years ago. In a rock band, and a bit of a hit with the ladies.
Bier Keller legend. Top sledger, and first member of the club ever to
have been "sent off" by his own captain.
More another day...
