Pen Portrait

One of the Wyse Men’s distinguished playing vice-presidents Eric has been a club stalwart for many years. Eric combines productive and economic bowling with the potential to score quick runs in the middle order. Eric now has over 800 career wickets & uniquely combines this with having scored a century for the Wysemen. Pen Portrait Simon has taken hatfuls of wickets over the years with his accurate and economical change bowling.  An integral part of Cudham’s set up he also boasts the most technically correct forward defensive in the club, an attribute unrecognised by many captains.  Is infamous for turning the ball like a doorknob, but like Saqlain Mushtaq, he takes most wickets with the one that goes straight on.

Pen Portrait

Dave has been a vital addition to the first XI impressing immediately as a consistently aggressive and proficient run scorer. He has been the club’s top run getter for the last year 2 years and deservedly took the League batting award in 2001.  He also doubles as an excellent wicket keeper & takes over as club skipper in 2002. The twin irritants of dodgy LBWs & less skilful colleagues makes Dave something of a 'Mr Angry'. Clear winner of the 2001 Mothercare Toys out of the Pram award. Pen Portrait Dave has been a lynchpin member of Cudham Wyse for many years. He has over 6000 career runs & 100 career wickets. Dave is a solid opening bat notable for his ‘Bill & Ben’ floppy sun hat & devotion to roll up cigarettes.  He also enjoys throwing himself around in the field at fine leg, a position he has made his own.  His wife Jan often spectates contributing helpful & encouraging advice.
