There is more to cricket than statistics, but for those who do not believe that
to be the case the Chris "Jack" Straw is your source of all OLCC facts
and figures. Jack joined the club after leaving school and is part of an illustrious
lineage of scorers who have found life out of the box with the OLCC. Always
modest about his abilities Jack plays with concentration and a straight bat
when at the crease - he has spent a lot of time watching the game from some
lofty positions so should have picked up a tip or two. Jack's eagerness to bowl
has waned over the last few seasons despite previous success, perhaps he fears
he has been eclipsed in bowling department by his wing man Judith? Not sure
what kind of spin Jack used to bowl but many want to see it return soon as he
is too young to give up bowling yet. PRS
