| Who do you think will win the Birmingham and District Premier League? | |
| Can you give me a list of teams in it so I don't make an arse of myself! | |
| Which Cricketer do you most admire? | |
| I suppose on current performances Marcus Trescothick. Like me he wears glasses, has red cheeks, comes from Shropshire, Opens the batting, plays right handed etc etc | |
| What is your favourite Cricketing memory? | |
| My top score of 90 is now superseded by scoring 23 in one over last year to reach my 50. It was the last over, we didn't win, but it was great | |
| If we could play songs as you went out to bat, which one would you choose? | |
| If opening with the Colonel it would be: What have I done to deserve this?, Pet Shop Boys/Dusty Springfield |
|
| What do you like most about playing for Harborne? | |
| Beautiful ground (safe for Ellie-May). Great Social facilities, friendly atmosphere, but playing facilities probably come out top | |
| What are your weather predicitions for 2001? | |
| We deserve some good weather for once | |
| What's your worst cricketing moment? | |
| Being hit in the balls whilst fielding last year - I thought I was having a baby | |
| What do you want to achieve this season? | |
| My first century please and maybe take some wickets with the ball | |
| Who would you most like to take your pads off after a long innnings (& why)? | |
| Any H.C.C. batsman struggling with the bat so he can remind himself of what sweaty pads are all about | |
| How many runs do you think Kevin Pietersen (formerly of Cannock) will score in the County Championship this year? | |
| Let's answer this when he pays some rent he owes the willows@theodore from the times he stayed over last year with Wingers | |
| If you were PLAYING AGAINST Harborne.... | |
| ...which Batsman would you most like to bowl at? | |
| Colonel - I could banter with him about playing straight/hit it off the square | |
| ...which Batsman would you least like to bowl at? | |
| Simon Gear - although he does struggle with my pace at indoor nets | |
| ...which Bowler would you most like to face? | |
| Not really bothered - I have been known to hit Wingers over the Pavilion for "6" Big Ones so no-one really frightens me - Bring on Andy Bryan | |
| ...which Bowler would you least like to face? | |
| 'Er Indoors (just in case!!) | |
| What's your favourite Pete Stevens quote or favourite Colonel cricketing memory? | |
| Telling his Mum he hadn't touched the Yard of Ale celebrating First Team success the season before last. Colonel's diving one-handed rolling catch on the Knots |
