Teams : Edinburgh South Cricket Club


1st XI

Paul Reddish Member profile Captain : Paul Reddish
New Captain in 2007 having joined the club in 2006. Middle order batsman, occasional wicketkeeper and can also turn his arm over - the word bowler wouldn't be accurate. Loads of energy and infectious enthusiasm has certainly helped when getting to grips with skippering this lot!
He hates having his photo taken!
Colin Mills Member profile Vice Captain : Colin Mills
Ageing vice captain who claims to be looking forward to handing over the reigns to a younger deputy in the not too distant future. Still manages to bowl a few overs and hates giving away runs – more than going to nets! Always willing to try and add impetus to an innings regardless of the state of the game.

Players

Charlie Barratt Member profile Charlie Barratt
When the rhythm is right and he’s firing on all cylinders there’s nobody bowls faster in this league or many others. Acrobatic and spectacular fielder and a bit handy with the bat as well. His joints have a habit of popping out in mid-over! So we're working on an idea of raising club funds by running a sweep each week to predict which over and what joint might pop!
Marty Bourke Member profile Marty Bourke
The Melbourne based all rounder played one game before heading back to Australia to try and relaunch his singing career. Will he be back? Depends how rubbish his singing is ...
Gerry Dodson Member profile Gerry Dodson
Grandpa of the team. Never mind the eight weans. Ambitious lower order right hand batsman, slow left arm spinner. Optimist: “if I don’t know what’s coming next, what hope does the batsman have?”

I'm the King of Spain!
Peter Fyfe Member profile Peter Fyfe
The man with the crooked finger. You don't want to be batting when he's umpiring at the other end!
Roshan Giany Member profile Roshan Giany
Young, talented and enthusiastic all rounder who always likes to be involved in the game. Top order batsman with loads of potential and a good technique, a useful medium fast bowler and lively in the field. Has definitely improved as a cricketer since investing in a pair of white trousers!!!
Johnwin John Member profile Johnwin John
committed, enthusiastic, energetic and talented guy with a great passion towards cricket. I used to play cricket for my college team in Bangalore, India.
Peter  Leigh Member profile Peter Leigh
Here he is, our very own Karaoke Queen, the Brisbane Banana bender, Peter Leigh!

One of the best fielders in the club, and famous for batting in his cagoule. Needs to buy some whites!
Gus McLean Member profile Gus McLean
An East League legend with more clubs than Tiger Woods. Although a seasoned veteran his love and enthusiasm for his beloved cricket has not diminished. Very knowledgeable of the game and always willing to pass on advice and guidance to old and young alike. The simple recipe of “line and length”, “you miss I hit” and a dash of intelligence and guile has seen him take many wickets at minimal cost!
Amin Pirani Member profile Amin Pirani
Talented hard-hitting batsman with the target of scoring his first club 100 this season. Managed 87 in 2007 so he might well achieve his aim. More than useful spin bowler and an enthusiastic fielder and appealer!!! Often sees plumb LBWs from deep mid-wicket which those with a better view have failed to spot!

Derek Wright Member profile Derek Wright
Probably too old now to retain the "promising youngster" tag. Steady opening batsman and wicket keeper. Considers himself the most handsome man at the club. A quiet, modest chap who has been vice captain to a club record number of captains!
