THE PAST & THE FUTURE

Favourite Cricket Ground apart from TCC?
Nothing comes close but if I had to choose it would be Hucknall.

Least Favourite Ground?
I have two, Newark and Hoveringham. Both horrible teams who I will be glad we are not visiting next season.

Worst Moment As A Badger?
I don't really have many of them, although getting relegated whilst on holiday in Florida was probably the worst.

Favourite Cricketing Moment?
Got to be getting my 140 not out last season, it has been a long time coming and to do it the way I did and for it to be at Thrumpton that will stay long in my memory.

That was for Dave Gant and Geoff Shaw for all the time they put into helping me when I was a kid!

Favourite Thrumpton Moment?
Has to be when we got promoted 2 seasons ago from Division D to C. For my first season as captain get promoted the way that we did was a really proud moment for me and for the other boys.

Personal Aim For 2015?
Improve on last season, hopefully get a few more runs and stay patient. Also as a team look towards the top of the table as if we would of been more consistent last season and win a few more on the road I'm sure we would of been top two.
