James Seymour talks us through his best XI team-mates so far.

Dubbed the 'Dele Ali' of Wilburton Cricket, James has had a more than eventful comeback to the sport after a 6 year absence from U15 level.

Seymour has been part of a Kirkland Cup and Junior Cup titles, as well as two promotion campaigns with the 2nd XI. His return to the Oaktrees has certainly raised the clubs morale and strength both on and off the pitch. On top of this Seymour has a mid-week 2020 title to his name having been part of the Fulbourn CC winning side.

Here the title claiming all-rounder talks us through the best XI he has played alongside.

1. Dan Kindred - Great all round cricketer and an even better bloke, hits the ball further than miles.
2. Tom Jaggot - He hit well over 500 runs in the EAPL last year, he's always settled and looks unreal from ball one.
3. Ben Seabrook - His cricket is better than his hair cut which doesn't say much. All joking aside another seriously good player.
4. Paul Summerskill - Complete egg, and nothing else to add.
5. Ollie Drake - No matter how many runs he scores, he is always guaranteed to play shot of the day. Technically one of the best I've played with.
6. Tom Walker - Always seems to score runs at valuable times and stands up when called upon.
7. Tom Williams - unbelievable fielder and great bat. Should've made it really.
8. Tom Kindred - Another class act both on and off the field, easily gets into my XI
9. Ayden Brown - By far the quickest bowler I've played with. Didn't work out for him with Burwell but he made up for it with the sesh.
10. Spencer Saberton - Another genuine all-rounder who has played a decent level. I heard he once got Joe Root's brother out.
11. Oli Sellers - Top wicket taker every season and has proved a half decent bat too.

A strong XI their on our maiden section of 'My Best XI', it might be a while before we see another one better than that.

Thanks to our all-rounder Jimbo Seymour
