A pragmatic and stylish batsman who delights in the technicalities of the game. Resolute in defence, and elegant when he unleashes his cover drive.
​
He is an OLCC oxymoron in that he is an OL and a reliable wrist-spinner, although he would modestly explain that his leg-spinner now occasionally, involuntarily, becomes a top-spinner that he has trouble controlling. Something like that. You'll have to get him to demonstrate it to you himself. His best bowling figures were achieved in the modern club's 1st year.
​
Still very spritely in the field; when practicing with his sons before the game it can be hard to tell which is from the older generation.
