About Pad

Pad joined us in 2011 but quickly fitted in since his debut. With an ability to bowl a very heavy ball he often finds himself opening the bowling. Once described one of his own deliveries as a "banana in-ducker that moved away".

Add to this a tendency to hit the ball very hard, while retaining a natural elegance, while batting. Pad is a genuine all-rounder - one of several at the Club.

It helps that Pad is a very nice bloke of course! This brings its own problems for Pad, since Matt Bulpitt has a tendency to give him a bear-hug at any time in a match, which is beginning to put a strain on Pad's slender frame!

Pad is an avid fan of Tony the Tiger from the Frosties adverts, and will provide an impromptu impression of him whenever anyone does anything worthy of merit.

Eltham's Captain since 2022 and one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet.
