Spotlight on some of our Heroes

A little information on the 2015 squad, by Adam Wilson

Former Players

Dr Adam Brown Adam Brown

AB is our most consistent batsman and 2014 saw him break all sorts of records. His 150* helped him amass 685 runs last season with an average of 57. His bowling is also a useful part of the teams plans and he regularly takes 20 wickets a season. This season the team will need AB with bat and ball if they are to survive Junior 1 and hopefully push on. 2015 TARGET = 500 runs / season average 40+ / 20 wks
2014 Performance: 685 runs at 57.08, 21 wickets at 13.14, 4 catches.
CAREER STATS

Paul Colwell Paul Colwell

Paul is our wicketkeeper and even though we got promoted he is still the best in the league. His 'experienced' age doesn't stop him throwing his body around week after week. 2015 TARGET = 200 runs / season average 20+
2014 Performance: 132 runs at 18.86, 7 catches and 5 stumpings
CAREER STATS

Peter Damerell Peter Damerell

Pete is still relatively new to the club. He is yet to make a league start but is a regular at our friendly matches. His bowling and batting is starting to take shape and I'm sure it won't be long before he breaks through. 2015 TARGET = 50 runs / season average 15+
2014 Performance: Did not bat or bowl in one league appearance.
NO CAREER STATS

Alex Dobson Alex Dobson

Alex is our university man and 2014 saw his appearances limited to just 8 matches but he did manage to get over 20 wickets for the club. In 2015 he could be very useful with his accurate bowling and attacking batting. We may have to increase his appearance fee to get him to play more games this season. 2015 TARGET = 100 runs / season average 10+ / 15 wks
2014 Performance: 40 runs at 6.67, 19 wickets at 12.68, 5 catches.
CAREER STATS

Alndy Fowler Andy Fowler

Fowler, Andy, Pringle is one of the nicest blokes you will meet. He played 2014 with an injury and therefore suffered through the whole winter forcing an early retirement. Our pre-season tour saw him come out of retirement for a gentle game and seems like he is as keen as ever to play. His bamboozling bowling with the odd apology is something many batsman get out to. Loves to score and by the end of the match will know the fellow scorer better than anybody. 2015 TARGET = 50 runs / season average 20+
2014 Performance: 46 runs at 11.50, 15 wickets at 12.47.
CAREER STATS

Andy Hayward Andy Hayward

Andy already has 'legend' status since he started playing for Ditton in 1982. He efforts in 2014 helped the club win promotion and in 2015 the same will be needed again. His batting position of 5 seems perfect for him to play any type of innings. Current fielder of the year. 2015 TARGET = 350 runs / season average 40+
2014 Performance: 275 runs at 27.50, 9 catches.
CAREER STATS

Fez Fessil Jack

Fessil Jack, or Jake or even Jack Fez is our West Indian, laid back, does what he wants man. When its comes to bowling or batting though he can be a very destructive batsman and aggressive quick bowler. 2014 was his first season and hopefully 2015 will produce just the same if not better. 2015 TARGET = 350 runs / season average 30+ / 20 wks
2014 Performance: 128 runs at 25.60, 13 wickets at 9.92, 1 catch.
CAREER STATS

Mark Jackson Mark Jackson

Jacko is our 'Mr Cricket'. The man who was probably dreaming about cricket before it even existed. His batting might not be what it used to be but his bowling is still something that catches batsman out time and time again. 2015 could be a tough one for Jacko as we hit division 1 again, with the youth coming through in the club competition for places could be high. 2015 TARGET = 50 runs / season average 10+ / 10 wks
2014 Performance: 12 runs at 3.00, 17 wickets at 18.82, 5 catches.
CAREER STATS

Giles Jameson Giles Jameson

Giles usually bats in the middle order and he will be the first to know he could score more runs with his ability. He has looked as good as ever in pre season nets and in division one his contribution could be key. Can bowl a bit as well, always puts his body on the line in the field. 2015 TARGET = 200 runs / season average 20+
2014 Performance: 88 runs at 12.57, 1 catch.
CAREER STATS

Gavin Johnson Gavin Johnson

Gavin seems to be Dittons lucky charm, doesn't play league matches often but when he does Ditton usually win. He has shown in the friendly matches that his swing bowling when straight can be a handful and his batting is usually hit out or get out. With such a small squad there might be times this season where is called upon. 2015 TARGET = 50 runs / season average 10+
2014 Performance: Did not bat, 3 wickets at 15.33.
NO CAREER STATS

David Laflin David Laflin

Dave is one of our bowlers that can bat as well. Last season he took some vital wickets to help the club get promoted. The winter nets have seen his bowling improve even more and 2015 could be a big wicket taking season for him. New friendly captain and also does a lot of work with our youngsters. 2015 TARGET = 150 runs / season average 20+ / 15 wks
2014 Performance: 70 runs at 17.50, 10 wicket at 21.10, 6 catches.
CAREER STATS

Adam Long Adam Long

Longy signed half way through 2015 and has settled in like a duck to water. His accurate bowling and solid batting makes him a great additional to the club and we look to forward to seeing what he can offer in 2016.
NO CAREER STATS

Michael McCann Michael McCann

Young Michael is one of a kind, somebody who loves the game and tries very hard, sometimes too hard and that's his downfall. His batting has improved over the last few years, but with the squad coming together his roles this year will be different from last. He has the ability to adapt but needs to work on his running between the wickets. Key player in the middle order. 2015 TARGET = 250 runs / season average 25+
2014 Performance: 205 runs at 17.08, 1 catch.
CAREER STATS

Rob Smith Rob Smith

Rob is the only new signing for 2015, his agreement last season being that if the club went up then he would sign. Over the winter appearance and transfer fees were sorted. Rob will be our new opening batsman for 2015 along with his medium pace bowling he offers the club a lot. The club will need Rob to score those runs this season to help us push toward the next level. 2015 TARGET = 500 runs / season average 40+
2014 Performance: N/A
NO CAREER STATS

Mark Vaughan-Shaw Mark Vaughan-Shaw

Mark is a big part of the club and helps keep moving it forward off the field. On the field he bats in the middle order and occasionally gets to give his loopy spin a go. He has struggled to make the runs he would have liked but this season could see him come good in tight situations. A very busy lad and usually attends 2 weddings, 4 stag do's and also have 'other arrangements' throughout the season. 2015 TARGET = 200 runs / season average 20+
2014 Performance: 29 runs at 4.14, 3 wickets at 4.67, 1 catch.
CAREER STATS

Adam Wilson Adam Wilson

Will always be 'The Skip' even when he steps down, which we hope won't be any time soon. Some describe him as an adequate first change bowler and a number four bat whose defensive technique is not all it might be. It would be interesting to see how our opponents describe him. 2015 TARGET = 277 runs / season average 28+ / 25 wks and lead us to another promotion
2014 Performance: 234 runs at 21.27, 24 wickets at 8.21, 4 catches.
CAREER STATS

Marc Wilson Marc Wilson

Marc is our all rounder who doesn't often bowl or bat correctly although he has the ability to do both and on his day be a potential match winner. One of the best fielders in the club which sees him usually at slip or behind the stumps when needed. He looked good in the winter nets and with the club ability levels moving forward at a rapid pace he will need to score those runs from down the order and take wickets when called upon. 2015 TARGET = 160 runs / season average 20+ / 10 wks
2014 Performance: 114 runs at 9.50, 2 wickets at 27.00, 4 catches & 2 stumpings.
