First XI

	Neil Sen (c) A seasoned performer that has played at many clubs and levels throughout his cricketing career, Neil brings a combination of quality, experience and direction to the 1st XI with his laid back captaincy style. A classically elegant right handed opening batsman who likes to dominate early on and upset the bowlers.

Outstanding memory in cricket: Having his room invaded at 3 am by Prodigy dressed as Dr. Frankenfurter whilst on first Tangiers tour!
	Stuart Knox (Vice) Originating from the Northern leagues, Stuart has proven to be a valuable addition in his first season with the club, providing resolve and patience at the top of the order and aggression and work rate in the field. A typically gritty in your face right handed opening keeper-batsman. Bowling: Right arm off-spin Age: 32 Nicknames: Knoxy Length of service: 1 season Previous clubs: Ulverston CC, Furness CC, Barrow CC, Mexico CCC, Cumberland CCC Most memorable moment at WTCC: Due to complete inability to score runs last season the most memorable moment so far has to be the Prodger ripping out the batsman’s legs stump and sending it cart-wheeling backwards, however the batsmen was at the non-strikers end and the projectile used to dislodge it was his foot. Sensational.
	Khalid Manzoor Long standing player and officer of WTCC, An aggressive off spin Bowler who on his day is capable of delivering match winning performances with both bat and ball. Attacking top order right handed batsman that likes to get on top and score runs quickly. Bowling: Right arm off-spin Age: Nicknames: Mushy, the Milkman Length of service: Previous clubs: Most memorable moment at WTCC

	Simon Prodger As a seasoned veteran of many clubs, ex pro cricketer and hockey player, Simon brings all his experience, ability and qualities to the Club coach and manager role. Since joining in 2004, Simon’s influence has added focus and direction to the team and general WTCC set up. Attacking left handed middle order stroke maker that likes to dominate and can quickly take the game away form the opposition.

Cricketing highlights: MCC tour of Argentina in 2001; some literally ‘under the covers’ sexual activity on the square by a well known, often in trouble Pakistani fast bowler, with a local lass of some reputation; opening the batting on tour in South Africa against Alan Donald and Corrie Van Zyl – the scariest cricketing moment of my life; dropping 4 catches in twenty minutes during our last league match of the season just gone – humiliating!
	James Sharp One of the longest serving club members who has recently found his niche as Beauty to Club Captain's Beast in their batting partnerships! Talent in abundance but like most WTCC players not fully maximised until 2007. Integral part of the first team's future success as batsman, great gully fielder and also and almost important (especially at the Twon) a great sense of humour. Also loves a curry and beer with Prodge and Senny after the game. Bowling: Right arm leg-spin Age: 29 Nicknames: Sharpy, Length of service: 18 seasons. Other clubs: Essex U17. Most memorable moment at the club: Having arrived back from an away game, I found Nigel, Des, Alex and Beavo all standing on different tables in the clubhouse wearing only pants and doing Guitar solos to ‘sweet child of mine’. Apparently everyone had gone home early so they organised their own ‘party’ with a Karaoke machine! Being only young, I had to wait many hours till they all finished so one of them could drive me home…….
	Mohamed Manzoor The younger of the two Manzoor ‘brotherhood’ family members and long standing WTCC player. Big hitting right handed middle order batsman who likes to bully the bowlers and has the ability to score runs quickly near the end of an innings. Mo’s cries can often be heard from the boundary screaming ‘send it’ to any player that defends more than 2 balls in a row.
