A game you would like to forget?
Stevens Cup final 2008, I was toilet. Stevens Cup final 2002 – we won, but I forgot it was on and went to the Oval to watch England v India. I’ve still yet to play in a winning final…
Grayshott’s Joker?
Andy Wheble, except for the ten minutes after he’s out. Ollie Roberts for his clothes, what’s worse is I don’t think he does it as a joke.

Not choosing a better course at university, not taking up some sort of musical instrument.
If you could invite 3 people, dead or alive, to dinner, who would they be and why?
Haydn Panettiere to look at, Steven Fry to amaze me with his general genius, and JRR Tolkien to read me a bed time story.
What was your last lie?
“Yes, Billy, I am listening” – most games of the season.
Describe yourself in 5 words
Nice bloke, nice and fat.
What’s the best book you ever read?
Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter James is pretty good too, Dead Simple is a classic.
What’s your dream job?
Working with Cagey – big salary to watch TV, go to the pub, and google rubbish to send to people. I’m wearing him down slowly – now he just says no rather than telling me to f*** off.
What’s the worst place you’ve ever been to?
Bordon isn’t great, Malia in Greece was a dive, following Phil C into the toilet in the Pittsburgh Steelers Fan Bar in Florida wasn’t a pleasant experience.
If you could fly on a magic carpet, where would you go?
Inside the Royal Mint, and I’d quite like to go to the Emirates Stadium Season Ticket office to jump my application up about 15,000 places.
If you could go back in history and prevent one person being born, who would you and why?
Ashley Cole, to save the world from his greedy, money grabbing, sleazy way of life (plus it would leave Cheryl for me). Rogert Mugabe isn’t a nice chap.
Funniest Moment on a Cricket Field?
Watching Andy Lang turning to come back for a second run – I’ve seen milk turn quicker than him. Ali playing a forward defensive whilst looking at the road behind him, Robbie Judge’s catching, Aaron Higgins getting a serious case of short man syndrome every time he plays us, Cagey’s “encouragement” of Venu in the field when Cagey was significantly nearer the ball that he was making Venu chase, great delegation. Ollie Roberts throwing his bat and/or ending up on his arse trying (unsuccessfully) to hit more 6’s. Andy Wheble calling for a drink after batting for 7 overs. Ali eating stinging nettles to fire himself up at Dogmersfield (It worked). Matt Haywood giving his pre match speeches and prompting the 10 other players to search through their pocket dictionaries to translate. Matt Haywood getting hit in the face BEFORE the game and going to hospital (not too funny at the time, but more funny by the year since). Simon Whitley claiming he would retire when I hit for a 6, and then bottling it whilst watching the ball sail into the trees. Jim Brophy’s keeping. Games of spoof where Pete Hannam is ALWAYS nearest Tower Bridge. Billy’s interpretation of “black tie”. Andy Wheble kicking his helmet (tee hee) all the way off the pitch at Tilford, including over the road. Cagey’s dives indoors, and speciality ricochet-off-the-wall fielding.
Best thing about Grayshott Cricket Club?
All of the funny moments above help make it enjoyable. Social life, decent cricket and good mates. The fact that it’s in Grayshott is fairly important.

Very Good moley, I would have thought I was at my most funniest to watch just after I get out. For a man with a terrible arm, it’s amazing how far I can throw my toys!
Also, Isn’t Haydn a boys name!
Thanks Wheble. You are quite amusing when you get out, we usually play a game of counting down until the Crash! Bang! Wallop! starts.
Hayden with an ‘e’ is a boys name, Haydn without an ‘e’ is the name of the most attractive woman on the planet. If only she knew who i was i’m sure she would be well up for it!
