Player Profile

Age:  The beard used to make him look older than he is but now he actually is that old

Specialisms:   Wides. Injuring himself in the run-up to bowling. The slash/cut to, over or through point.

Profile:  One of the longer serving members and currently the off-the-field supremo/dictator depending on who you ask. Once leading wicket taker for two years running, Gareth has developed the art of ‘shit gets wickets’ bowling.  Claims to also bowl leg-spin, but is rarely allowed on the grounds that the team would like to win the game!  Has ambitions to average double figures with the bat one season. A more realistic ambition is to bowl no wides in one spell.

Favourite Colour: Fuschia

Nickname: Mein Fuhrer
