ECONOMY                  5.43

FAV SHOT                   Slog  (Anything in the Air)

FAV MOVIE                 Batman (he was so pleased with the link)

FAV MEMORY            Celebrating with Dave on the wicket at the close of a match for East Cheam.  Did they win?  No, but they were both Not Out!  Bless!

This improving player is learning more about the game with every experience, we're all just hoping that he's going to learn to hit the ball to the boundary along the floor!  Matt's no-nonsense approach to captaincy will no doubt give us the positive drive we need to succeed in our 20Twenty matches this year!

    Daniel 'The Wall' D'Souza        RHB

    Chris 'Dead Man Walking' Henderson-Smith  RHB

Chris's enthusiasm as always will carry him and the casuals through this year. Although only a eager spectator for most of the season, he will be the most vocal and buoyant member of the team, our ever present leader off the field and  12th man! 

    James 'The Gate is Closed' Catton        RHB

James is a late developer into the sporting arena, and he finally gets the chance to fulfil his drunken promises after several years of self taught 'couch cricket'. A great motivator in the field and hopefully no 'slouch potato' with the bat.

FAV MOVIE               Gladiator

FAV MEMORY          Taking a Hat-trick of stunning catches at point against Nutley Hall

A permanent fixture last year in East Cheam’s XI, Tim is useful with the bat and without question an inspiration in the field. Rather than just throwing him the ball when we've got 2 overs left to fill, we're hoping to turn to Tim for some bowling strength and depth this season.

FAV MOVIE                 The Rock (A Modern Classic, apparently!)

FAV MEMORY            Something about his mate Cooly at Farncombe CC involving a chair, or more respectably Lee getting 4 wickets in one over against Guildford County, although one was a run out so that doesn't really count does it Lee!?

At university Lee always sat with a ball in his hand, tossing it up and down, rolling his wrist over to add variation, and finally after one nets session the Casuals get to experience that practice does make perfect!  Lee will no doubt feature in the season's stats page!

   Bob 'Loafers' Norden         RHB

AGE                                    60

BAT                                     Duncan Fearnley

HIGHEST SCORE              66*

BEST FIGURES                  Bob doesn't do bowling!

ECONOMY                        We don't need to know, give him a bat!

FAV SHOT                         Square cut

FAV MOVIE                       Does coronation Street have a movie?

FAV MEMORY                  Bob scoring 1000 runs, yes that's dreamland for the rest of us, in the same season his old man Des took 100 Wickets.

Seeing as there are 3 Norden's featuring in the seasons RS Casuals line up, we're hoping that Bob can emulate this sort of form once more. However it means Chris and Dave punching above their weight a touch i feel!

  Tony 'Achilles' Henderson-Smith    RHB 

AGE                               58

BAT                               He likes to use a cricket bat mostly

HIGHEST SCORE        About 20    

BEST FIGURES            Might use him yet!

ECONOMY                  I'm guessing he'll be around 5.4 (a ball)

FAV SHOT                   Square cut

FAV MOVIE                 Catch me if you can (Touche Tone, touche)

FAV MEMORY            Taking two towering catches on the boundary to prevent sixes, as he was travelling at 100mph, with the professionals on-looking saying "they are the two greatest catches I've ever seen". Tony was the only who could verify this!

If we can buy enough deep heat then Tony, together with Bob at 1st and 2nd slips will at least put the batsmen off their game! Yes lathered up, Achilles will feature more with his cricket bat this year, but less we forget he will also offer something with the ball should we need a slow to really slow variation to throw in the mix

   Ed 'The duck'  Burton   (Wicket Keeper)       RHB

AGE                               15

BAT                                It's a Harrow Junior Bat

HIGHEST SCORE         10 out 10 wasn't it? A*

ECONOMY                   It's stuff about numbers and money Ed

FAV SHOT                    Firmly struck On-Drive

FAV MOVIE                  High School Musical

FAV MEMORY             N/A (Ed is too young to have a favorite memory yet, but watch this space).

It was in the swimming pool in Spain where we witnessed Ed pass his initiation into the casual side! His parents allowed him a day with the big boys! He will really have to pull out the stops to keep the extra's to a season record low in our first year!!
