Best Cricketing Moment(s):	Difficult to pick favourites but a hat trick on my debut for Surrey IIs against Sussex was fantastic but then ruined by rupturing ankle ligaments during celebrations - injured for 3 months.  Then invited onto Test Match special by Ralph Deller to talk about it during the tea interval of the Lords Test match. Being part of the first Minor Counties side to beat first class opposition(Derbyshire) by means of a bowl out.  Probably worth noting that I was not trusted to hit the unprotected stumps by our Captain so did not actually get to bowl a ball.  I was in good company though because Devon Malcolm was also not trusted by Derbyshire. I could describe many other highlights of quite a long career but overall the best memories of cricket are the great friends I have made and continue to make.
Worst Cricketing Moment(s)/Funny Stories	Fielding for Surrey in front of the pavilion at the Oval in the final of the national U25 knockout trophy.  Middlesex required 6 of the last over to win.  Second ball was hit to me at long off - straight to me - not too hard - long barrier - straight through me for 4.  Fortunately Middlesex then self destructed with three runouts chasing the last two runs for victory and we won by one run.
Anything Else	Have really enjoyed joining Bideford CC and am delighted to be asked to Captain the side for the 2009 season.
