Lil is one of Cheddar 3rds unsung heroes. 3 years ago he was an uncertain teenager with untapped potential, now he is an uncertain teenager with untapped potential. Known as Wurzel Gummidge for his particularly yokel hair style, his between wickets running is also reminiscent of a scarecrow, ie he doesn’t move or call. Far from frightening away the birds however, his genial way with the opposite sex makes him the envy of several other young lads in the club. Apparently it’s the way he places his fingers on the seam!! His late in-swing has had even the most experienced batsman tied up in knots particularly after bowling the rest of the over with the variable line and length of a man too drunk to put his whites on let alone bowl a ball. He has one shot when batting and will use it on all occasions despite the ball not even being bowled to him. As a consequence his length in batting is much more consistent than in his bowling, normally 2 balls, four and out. He’s been off to Uni this year and we all wait to see if he has been affected by his new experiences.
