9. Tell us little about your cricket history - I started off in primary school, struggling to get in the top 11. I remember as a little one that I was so disappointed when I did not get selected. And still remember coaches telling me that I should try another sport. I ask now, would you like to bowl to me now? Or would you like to face me now? hehe :) Nah in a way they have helped me get better. Through High school I just played in the nets with my good mate (Lads), we then joined a local team and now are apart of a good team at Cromer. Cricket gets me through the working week, all that I look forward to during the week is the Saturday arvo game we have :)

11. Favorite Players - Steve Waugh, Michael Slater, Michael Bevan, Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Matthew Hayden, Hmm basically the whole Australia Team :)

13. Favorite Cricketing Publication - Inside Edge, Kingsgove yearly Catalogue!!
14. Favorite Cricketing Website - www.baggygreen.com.au www.kingsgrovesports.com.au
15. Favorite Cricketing Brand - Gray Nicolls
16. Tell us about the best bat you've ever had - The one I have at the moment, GN Gladius (brought from Kingsgrove)
17. Tell us a little about the cricket competition/s you play in - I play with a great bunch of guys in the local Manly Warringah C2 division. Everytime we take the field we always enjoy ourselves.
18. What ideas would you propose to improve the game of cricket - There has been talk of imposing new rules to lower the dominance of the Australian Cricket team, If this is done I would think it would be bad for the game. I am a bit young to remember but I think the bouncer rule came in because the West Indies bowling attached rules the word in the late 70's-80s. That is wrong. There is no point in taking a backward step.
19. What are your thoughts on the sledging issue - It's a part of the game, in all grades I have played it has existed. But I guess everyone has their own meaning of the word "sledging". Personal offensive attacks should not be tolerated. I take sledging as a compliment, if they have to resort to sledging to try and get me out well I must have some runs on the board right?
20. Who do you rate as being the best in the last 20 years - Batsman - Matthew Hayden
Bowler -Dennis Lillie
WK - Rod Marsh
Allrounder - Kapil Dev
Captain - Steve Waugh
21. Have you ever had professional cricket coaching - No, I wish I would have when I was younger though. Perfect the technique
22. What is the best tip you've had or given - Watch the ball and keep your head still.
23. What is your most treasured cricketing item - My box!!
24. Is there are song you love that you relate to cricket - sorry can’t think of any at the moment
25. Best Cricket Video you've seen - Cricket in the 70's DVD
26. Best Cricket Book you've read - Justin Langer - The Power of Passion
27. Best Cricket After dinner speaker you've seen - Sorry have not seen/heard any. But I guess as must cricketers are gentle ALL OF THEM :)
28. Best / Nicest cricketer you've met - All of them :)
29. What other interests do you have outside of cricket - I like outdoor stuff, fishing, camping, hanging with mates. Good old Aussie lifestyle.
30. How did you come across Kingsgrove Sports Centre - I first came across them when I found their website a few years back, since then I have been a returning customer. How could you blame me? Great staff (Hey Hamish :) ) great prices, great service, OH and they even have their own museum and academy. These guys are the perfect cricketers! Hello everybody at Kingsgrove!! :)
31. Your Final say - Cricket being a team sports enables you to get to know some of your team mates pretty good! I just wanna say hi to all the Cromer Boys! you know who you all are! Cheers!!
