The First St Ouen’s Cricket Pundit

 

This is where I, Alan Le Bihan, get a chance to speak honestly and openly about some of the best St Ouen’s cricketers to have ever walked onto the artificial at FB2.  But first a little about me.

 

Strengths

Slow Right Arm Bowler (no spin-except on a bumpy track). Probably the only exponent of this dying art in the Island. Right Hand Bat always likely to get runs, likes to hit big.

Weaknesses

His liking to hit big whilst batting. Caught 99% of the time. Should take more singles.

Not playing at weekends.

 

Strengths

Player

Big player for the big occasion. Captain (and sponsor) for the 2nd year.

Right Arm Fast Mediam Bowler. Mixes it up well.

Right Hand Bat - Big Hitter, can be a game winning batsman. Can punish the best bowling in the Island.

 

Craig Douglas

 

Weaknesses

Swears in Afrikaans – could get caught one day. Playing for two teams. Going on holiday during pre-season nets.

 

Player

Strengths

 

Pat Dean

 

 

 

Fast Right Arm Bowler. Bowls wicket to wicket, very difficult to get away.

Right Hand Bat very solid batsman. Always likely to score.

Weaknesses

Injuries at the end of the Egg chasing season. Knees going, back going. Providing the team with beer is no good in the teams preseason fitness regime.

 

Strengths

Player

Right Hand Bat probably one of Jerseys finest batsmen. Uses his feet well.   Captain of Jersey & Guernsey.

Nice hair – Wella maybe?

Right Arm Off-spinner (finger –no wrist).

 

Ward Jenner

 

 

 

Weaknesses

Some stupid Latin ditty.

Always susceptible to end up flat on his face at the crease.

Also playing for two teams.

 

Player

Strengths

 

Barry Breuilly

 

 

Wicket –Keeper. Has taken over 10,000 wickets in his long career. Can talk a batsman out. Knows every rule in the book and how to break them.

Right Hand Bat – good tail-end batsman.

Cigars.

Knowing every rule in the book.
