Personal Predictions

(Runs, Wickets, Dismissals)

Two league tons will do nicely and just to bowl in the league would be good!
Favourite Opposition Ground (& why)?

3 criteria:1 teas - Water Orton, 2 - track - Kidderminster, 3 - showers - K&D

Best Opposition Teas on the Circuit? Water Orton - good cakes
Best Showers on the Circuit? K&D heat, strength, privacy - great stuff!
Who would you be in 'Stars in the Their Eyes'?
If you were in the Big Brother house which Harborne CC member would you take in with you and why?
What is your favourite Cricketing memory? Beating K&D to win the league 1996. Beating K&D to win Warwick Trophy at Edgbaston 2000. Watching my brother score ton at Edgbaston last year.
What is your worst Cricketing moment? Both of these made me cry! Relegation with the Heath 1999. Mike Goldsmith hitting me full on in the crackerjacks runs it pretty close though!

Who would you most like to talk to at the bar and why? Sachin - we could discuss similarities...height for instance.

Write a poem. You may scream you may doubt
It can sometimes seem like a dream
But when the clouds lift and the sun comes out
I'm a bit like a batting machine

hmmm...!
