Brett also graduated in law from Surrey Uni in 2007. Unoriginally, he then made the next vital step on the path to legal greatness by enrolling at the College of Law in, you guessed it, Guildford. Brett gets to practice at law there on a special course. Strangely, this is called a legal practice course. Almost like a net session but with books.

 

Brett was originally brought up in Durban, which is in South Africa. Therefore, he also likes green boys, except he reckons Kallis is the daddy rather than Younis Khan.

 

Brett played for the Uni 1st XI from his 1st year (04/05). His highest score for the club was 70*. He was a secretary in 05/06 and, because he typed so well, was elected club captain in 06/07. Brett is also a veteran of two USCC tours: Newquay in 06 and Ireland in 07. Two places of equal stature.

Unfortunately, Brett has now fallen from these lofty heights as he plays for Guildford CC. In his spare time he teaches youngsters everything he knows about cricket, we are informed that it is a very short course. Brett also attempts squash, golf, tennis, snowboarding, surfing and ballet. The world is his oyster.   

Barnabas is this year’s club web monkey. His enthusiasm for cricket knows no end; his cricket skill knows no beginning. Barnabas supposedly studies Economics but if you asked his flat mates, they would say the very notion that Barnabas studies anything is a good joke.

 

He once played Grumpy in a pantomime and everyone agreed that he did not act once in the whole production. Barnabas can also be heard making a complete fool of himself from time to time on the student radio station, GU2. If that is not enough, he also dresses up in silky black each weekend and chases after grown men whilst blowing whistles and waving coloured cards around.

 

His best score for the university is 3.

 

 

 

Richard likes to think that he started playing cricket when he was about 5 in his home country of Pakistan and went on to graduate from the Lahore academy whilst saving the cheerleader and thus saving the world. We like to humour him.

Factual history shows that Richard actually represented District and County when he was a nipper before playing for Surrey uni for 3 years (including this year). We think he might be a mechanical engineer. Great things are expected from this ex money counter as he had his best season last year scoring 2 fifties, and had average of over 30.

 

Some say though that his greatest achievement was only having to mug four students last season to keep the club financially afloat. 

Peter is 21 and still is not allowed the keys to his house in Harrow Town. This is because he is a final year psychology student. He enjoys playing cricket for his home club Bessborough although whether his teammates enjoy the fact that Pete plays for them is questionable. In Peter’s spare time, he plays football, squash and mini golf.

 

This season Peter is the unofficial club reporter. He loves to write about his performances in the third person. We love to read them. His claim to fame is that he lives next door to the union president. Banging!

 

Jonathan tells us that he does music with computer sound design. As he only knows three chords on the guitar and struggles to play ‘Happy Birthday’ we think his degree is really in health and beauty. Jonathan also has played for Surrey for three years. This year he is the club chairperson (no sexism here and you can never really be sure anyway), he has come a long way after being stumped off his first ever ball for Surrey… having left it.

 

In fact, he now proudly tells anyone who listens that he took the last wicket on the Newquay tour to dramatically draw the game. (NB: some of the opposition had not yet passed through puberty, observers noted.)

 

Jonathan likes rounders and is a good driver.
