Terry knocking three of my teeth out with a vicious lob in from gully

Favourite player/s you've played with:
 
Too many to list.  It would be easier to list those I didn't like playing with, who number about 8.  That said, in pure cricketing terms
Millichope, Burgess B, Flood J, Flood D, Flood N, Hearnie, Williams, Walliker, Fowdy, O'Mahoney & Partridge C are amongst the best

Player that you would most like to face in a cricket match:
 
Norton J

Player you would least like to face in a cricket match:
 
Going back a few years Flood J, but nowadays Partridge C

Any ambitions before your playing career comes to an end?
 
I have four ambitions left, first to see Jim get a hundred; secondly, to take 100 stumpings and 500 catches (although I think the latter is a little ambitious given my age and health problems); thirdly, to be the first person to take five catches in a match; and finally, to be involved in one way or another in the fall of all ten opposition wickets.  If I fail in the last one, I will just have to be involved in the fall of all 10 PPCC wickets (I can see some run outs in the air)!
