We watched him at our club since he was a baby ! – literally a product of our youth development with his Gramps our staunchest supporter and spectator and his uncle as one of our most prodigious batsmen he daren’t fail and he has not disappointed.
At over 6ft he’s a strapping and athletic young man having overcome a number of obstacles to get to that. He’s an experienced tourist having been to the West Indies twice, but still a novice on the home tours as we’ve seen him there for only 1 year so far – but still we all know the youthful pull of the fair sex, and we’ll give him time to commit !
As a character he can be hot tempered when disappointed in his sport, the ultimate competitor with attitude, but he is developing that in a positive way to produce for himself and more responsibly for the team.
He carries his enthusiasm for the game to others and has recently been “leader of the gang” in setting up a club side to play league cricket midweek during 2010 – this team will focus on our younger members.
Nick named Forrest (Gump) but don’t take that to mean laid back, mentally and physically
slow, lacking intellect, sex appeal and physical co-
As far as stats go he’s excelled given his limited seasons so far : 97 games, 86 innings producing 1961 runs.
Hit eleven 50’s and a top score of 126. He’s taken 88 wickets for an average of only 23.6 runs and is improving every season. Not long we think before he starts to impact our Club’s “All time records top 10”.
