General
 

 

High Stables

The High Stables squad is made up of the following players.

   
Andy Simblett Andy Simblett
Grumpy Andy is always sporting the latest fashionable garment in the world of Knitwear. A sharp wit and a sharper haircut Andy always looks further away than he actually is. A mean right arm over action means Andy is a key member of the squad.
 
Dave Lombard Dave Lombard
Specializing in run outs (or should that be being run out?) Dave is fighting his way back to fitness after a vicious beemer from beaker. Solid top order player who often bats through
 
Davey Dey Davey Dey
Dave is a powerhouse batsman who trades finesse for raw power, he can hit the ball a mile and will hopefully deliver destructive innings from the middle order. We are stocking up on Knee bandages in case his infamous injury jinx stikes again.
 
Extras Extras
This illusive big hitter contributes to the total consistently despite nobody ever having met him.
 
Ian Dowson Ian Dowson
"The Cat" is the heartbeat of the team. Tries to guide the team and encourage improbable performances out of the team to perform a David Vs Goliath performance every match. Currently locked in a heated battle for the gloves with "the kitten"
 
Jack Sanderson Jack Sanderson
The team heterochromiac. A big hitter in the nets its a matter of time until Jack shows it on the field. Other famous heterochromiacs include Alexander the great, David Bowie and Michael Flatley
 
John Appleby John Appleby
John "don't call me Appers" is a left arm round sensation. Keen on the extra run, especially when not on the field John excels in not out performances, often without facing a ball
 
John Dodds John Dodds
First on the sheet in his position as living memory and always first to the bar with a pint of real ale, John has a mean paddle to fine leg that's always worth runs
 
Kev Wyke Kev Wyke
Mad Kev Wyke is the backbone of the side. Preferring to chest the ball down before catching it, its wise not to piss him off or he'll fight all of ya!
 
No Picture Mark Toddman
A new addition to the squad Mark brings some colour to winter practice. Bowls slow right arm over and bats with a solid technique which suggests he is an accumulator (like a squirrel in the winter). The whites of Mark''s eyes have not yet been seen in battle but from the nets he looks like a shrewd acquisition for HSCC.
 
Michael Hughes Michael Hughes
Opening line and length bowler; the line is borderline and the length is usually half track. Specializing in firing out his own team lbw from the umpires spot the skipper struggles with Mondays
 
Mikey Hutton Mikey Hutton
Self proclaimed "best keeper at the club" "the kitten" is locked in a battle for the gloves. Only time will tell who will come out on top
 
Nick Brereton Nick Brereton
A fiery and competitive pace bowler, 'Nasty' Nick is now beginning to prove that his long held belief in his batting has not been misplaced. He should take plenty of wickets this season and contribute quick runs from the middle order.
 
Reuben Dodds Reuben Dodds
At first his batting resembled Hoggard, seems to have been studying Ponting over the winter as has developed all new shots for 2007. Useful spinner and a cat like fielder in the Collingwood mould.
 
Simon McGinnity Simon McGinnity
The gently giant can swing for the hills when required
 
Steve Milburn Steve Milburn
An under used and under appreciated all rounder. Middle order stalwart with one good shot (and counting)
 
Stuart Clogg Stuart Clogg
'Le professeur', a student of the game. Easy to see where Jackson gets his style from, if not his looks. His batting flows like a river of honey and opens for HSCC, his left arm bowling is also highly regarded.
