As I have spent the last decade or so being classified as an overweight cricketer, I have decided to select my favourite fat cricketer XI, this is a mixture of test, county and club players. Here goes:
- Colin Milburn
- Darren Harrison (on account of a good 100 against I’boro last week)
- Mike Gatting (capt)
- Insamam Ul Haq
- Andy “Pancho” Pearson
- Neil Stanley
- Ian Austin
- Jason Clipstone (wk)
- Leighton Griffiths
- Merv Hughes
- Me
Here are some squad memebers who show potential for making the weight: Andy Trott, Andy Roberts, Luke Styman (youth policy), All Indian Players plus half the Indian ladies team who played England ladies this week.
Please add other suggestions via the comments facility.
Johnny Europe, What did happen to him?
Do you have to be good at cricket? If not Whity would have pi??ed it last year with his ar?e alone. Chasing Dum Dum around the bedroom (sorry gym) apparently gets the weight off. Tim Holmes, Paul Bailey, Gavin Black, Ed Osborne are all shoe-ins.
I think that’s 2 years ago but let’s not split hairs!!
Anyway hasn’t Trotty left himself out of inclusion in the side with that ever expanding waistline????
