| Profile : Graham is the much maligned cricket fanatic within the club. Apart from treasurer, colts manager, match secretary he also arranges the club tours. A useful batsman in the middle order for the first team, and at the top of the order for the second team. Scored a personal record aggregate of 714 runs in 2005. His most famous innings was his unbeaten 153 against Paxmans in 1993, pulling the side from the oblivion of 40 for 8 to respectability at 230 for 9. Has great difficulty backing up and can been seen sitting on his perch as the bowler delivers the ball, notoriously ran the first eleven skipper out in 2002. Serious knee injury caused by 'ping pong' in the eighties has had a detrimental effect on his speed in the field, or for that matter between the wickets. |
