There is no greater love than that between a man and his car. Often found catching 40 winks in the front seat of his motor, Shammy is a new ball specialist having joined the club in 2014. Hypnotic swing has proved to be the downfall to many a batsman already, never moreso than in his memorable debut 6-fer at Great Totham. On song, there is more curve than a sine wave. Possesses a slower ball which probably couldn't be labelled as subtle - a couple of them have been trapped in the slipstream of the ISS and are currently orbiting the planet. Batting is much more our cup of tea - borderline kamikaze, around 98.7% of his runs for the club have been scored in sixes over "wide long on".
