Purley on Thames CC

NTL's best customer

Bounce him, Bounce him Ricci!

Owner of a number of properties throughout the Reading area. If you don't get Nigel out early then bowlers beware!

Purley's big signing of the 2009 season. This picture shows the historic moment of the 'Pigeon' signing his Purley contract.

AKA 'Secret', destroyer of many a middle order with his legendary 'wobble'. A great exponent of the dark arts of indoor cricket, despite having a dodgy shoulder. Legendary consumer of shandy - 6 shandys do not equal 2 pints of beer - therefore its ok driving!

Big hitting right handed batsman and wicket keeper, very good at stopping leg side wides - which comes in extremely useful.

Pacey opening bowler, made a big impact in his first year at the club. Claims to be of Irish decent, but does a very convincing impression of a South African. Resident number 11 he was allegedly once seen holding a bat.

Known to most as Big 18 - The Purley 'Express' capable of reaching speeds of 60mph!!! Scored an unbelievable 120 last season against Lower Earley, will be pushing for a higher spot in the batting line up for the new season.

A promising opening bowler and middle order bat who made his debut for the Saturday Twos in 2007. A product of the 'youth' academy at Yattendon, he has a promising future just don't let him play on the swings again!

Batting god! Unfortunately due to being a fireman his playing opportunities are limited

Tall Jamaican off spinner, has a 'mystery' ball in his armoury (its a mystery how he has got away with his bowling for years!). Main man in all Purley deals with Trinidad and Tobago.

Top quality fast bowler. Capable of bowling a serious pace from the shortest of run ups. Also a very useful batsman, unorthodox in his methods but highly effective. DO NOT drop a catch off his bowling.

AKA 'Mini Meash', a talented all rounder, steady middle order bat and a dangerous medium pace bowler. That being, a danger to the batsman and occassionally second slip,especially after an all nighter in Bournemouth or a night out in Bar Risa !!

The original Lard! Hard hitting batsman and slow left arm twirler. Has occasionally been seen drinking Fosters Top in the Purley Club.

The Tank! Famed for his dab - late cut for 4. Former Berkshire wicket keeper. Leading century maker in Purley club history.

Currently under house arrest, please help Amnesty International secure his release by writing to the Spanish ambassador in London.

Savage of a batsman. Net practice becomes very hazardous when Jalil is batting. Also a very useful bowler capable of bowling a decent pace from a slingy action.

Attacking middle order batsman, more than useful bowler and a very reluctant wicket keeper (he has very delicate hands). One half of the Chennai Chuckle Brothers - to me to you to me to you

The only Purley player to have his profile on Cricinfo
