Player Profiles

 

We have been blessed that many have given their time and skills to taking to the field with the Exiles and others supporting in many other ways a far from exclusive and certainly in no particular order list of those brave souls is below.

 

Ian "Tissues" Howes - RM trundler and lower middle order "batsman", for some reason our "senior bowler" managed the batting award in 2009. Oft seen garzing in the outfield so as to do as little damage as possible whilst fielding

Jay "Bobbykey" Goodwin - Middle order hitter, renowned for his quick singles and all run 4s - or was that all run 1s and quick 4s? Also more than useful seamer, who enjoys nothing more than a long spell after long journeys

Basil "Basil" Feilding - Wicket keeper, batsman, bowler, is there no start to his talent?
Joking aside, one of the most committed clubmen you could ever wish to meet, and has, in truth, become a steady and reliable keeper.

David "IHB" Coster - Heavy scoring opening bat. Showed his South African heritage when choking with a century in sight, getting out in the nineties.
A more useful bowler than he would EVER admit, the nickname "Murali" is well earned

Pete "MiPiL" Cheetham - Club legend and overeseas pro, his inspired captaincy has seen him trying to kill half of the committee whilst on the field, all in the name of victory.
Often seen sharing the new ball with Tissues, equally often seen swiftly following him back to the pavilion after batting...
Also a keen nature lover and expert on nettles

Chris "Daniel Fishman" Fish - One third of the hair bear boys, our resident stats guru is a new ball bowler who can also hit the ball a long way when batting.

Ned BH - One third of the hair bear boys, Ned has the best bowling figures for the club, much to everyone's amazement. A Boycottesque batsman who also bowls some deceptive spinners. Never refuses a beer, always refuses catches.

Orac - His Exiles debut innings is still talked about today, 0 from 49 balls, has since learnt the attacking shot, one of our bowling "twirlers".

Chris Williams - Is there anything he can't do? He bats, he fields, he bowls, although how often he loses a 5 pace run up is a mystery.

KangaRo - Exiles triple record holder, youngest player, shortest player and a girl!!! Fully committed player, often seen using her shins to stop the ball in the field. Possesses the legendary reverse sweep/pull in her batting armoury.

IKE - The boy from the valleys is a very useful swing bowler on his day, line and length go awol as often as his ipod though.

Spaceman - Our Kolpak player from Poland, Kevin is a useful trundler and a paid up member of the "just the one" batting club.

Cheif Muppet - Another Exiles record holder, the longest over in Exiles history!! A much improved batsman, Cheif is a stalwart of the club, likes to bat in negligees.

Teflon Muppet - Big hitting batsman, rumours that the power would go if the mullet was cut are as yet unproven. Deceptively quick bowler from a 3 pace run up too.

Surrey Ali -  Amazed even himself with a 50 on debut, normally fills in the scorebook with pretty colours. Bit of a golden arm as well, normally picking up wickets.

Slog - The Exiles very own Freddie Flintoff, made of biscuit like him too. When fit he is a powerful top order bat and medium pacer.

Edges - What can be said about Edges that he hasn't said himself? A decent bat, getting his name on the honours board twice, it remains a mystery how he got on there for his bowling though, also one of our best fielders.

Petrus - One of the elder statesmen of the side, normally found in the slip corden, ever improving bat.

Pavouk - The eldest player in Exiles history, old father time fields in his own time, achieved a lifelong ambition by scoring a run at Chalfont 08.

LV - Co founder of the club who also posesses the worse taste ever in shirts. Opening bat and karaoke king.

Sabretooth - The pigmy sized pocket dynamo, endless energy in the field, more than useful bat who also bowls spin or medium pace.

Ro's Bro - One third of the Hair Bear Boys, Jimmy is one of the better bowlers in the club and also a decent bat. Been known to collide with team mates in the field, his hair blocking his vision.

Cavey - Another of the elder statesman of the club, a steady bat and member of the slip cordon club. Stand next to him in the slips at your peril after famously clearing a train carriage in a matter of seconds.

Cpl Birch - Hopefully has invested in a watch for the coming season, enthusiastic fielder and opening bat, needs to stop wearing Teflon gloves in the field.

Luke - Owen Wilson lookalike, big reputation but often plays with a hangover that renders him useless. One time sober he showed his ability with a good 50. Very good fielder.

Lowep - The inventor of the "moon ball", people in Staffs Moorlands are still waiting for the ball to re enter the earth's atmosphere. Powerful batsman and a bowler reborn.

Death - Bats like Tavare in his prime, perfect cure for insomniacs. Decent bowler on his day who does a mean cossack dance.

Coolerking - The king of the fantasy cricket competitions is the best keeper in the club and a decent top order bat.

Coombser - Epitomises what the Exiles are all about, despite being in a wheelchair he has taken the field on a couple of occasions, fielding and batting, when we can drag him away from the cider tent.

Lancs - When not stalking Avril Lavigne he can be seen frustrating bowlers with his dogged batting style. Needs an interpreter so we can understand what he is saying.

Madglover - If he could bowl like Holmes, his battrick hero we would have a fine player on our hands, instead we have to make do with a more than capable bowler and lower order bat who is one of the best fielders in the club.

BBK - The Exiles first overseas player, the legendary Kiwi who's runs were more scarce than him being sighted at the bar. Decent bowler on his day, just a shame that day never arrived.

LeftArmSwing - The Lefty from the Midlands, he possesses a rare skill for an Exile, he can actually bowl. Big hitting lower order batsman also.
