Matt is married to Lisa & has two girls Lydia & Gracie mae, who all hate cricket. He is a qualified groundsman to his club, & loves to prepare a quality track,
Matt said, “it’s strange, although I love to win, cricket surpasses winning & losing more than any other sport I’ve ever played, it is more important to play fair & hard, shake hands & share a drink & a tale than to win, (that said I still hate losing) “

He could only ever had been a Wicket Keeper due to his energy and enthusiasm for life and that of the Team, although he still recounts his days of Leg Spin aged 10. Erratic as a bat and as an ageing keeper, a competitor to the end but win loose or draw he’s always having fun and loves the spirt of Cricket the sport of Gentlemen.

Opening bowler, sometimes! At 6'3 I should be able to generate some ferocious speed but can't! I am neither fast or slow and medium would be pushing it, the swing I generate is more by luck than design and when the ball seams, well, I clearly meant to do it! My slow cutter ball is used very rarely but always

Lower order / tail end batsman with two strokes, defence, or the heave-ho.
Lover of the game of cricket, been playing for the last 41 years, competitive nature in the field would imply I am a good cricketer!!
I live in West Sussex with my partner Helen. Between us we have five children, all of whom enjoy playing or watching cricket.
