Mark joined the club in 2008 and turned out regularly for the Sunday 1st team. He bowls canny off-breaks and is a hard-hitting lower-order batsman. Made 2nd XI appearances in 2009 and 2010 and also played once for the 1sts in 2010. His best bowling spell so far for the club came in a Sunday game against White Waltham in 2010 where he took 5-55 from 15 overs.

A genuine character, Christian is one of the longest serving members of the first team and is now the club's League Representative. He enjoyed a sensational 2007 season with the ball, leading to him winning the player's player award. Is also a good lower middle order batsman, and averaged around 40 in the promotion-winning 2006 season.

Richard bowls big in-swingers and regularly took the new ball for the first team during the promotion-winning season of 2006. Made four first team appearances in 2008 for the 1st team but spent most of the season as a key bowler for the 2nds, often bowling long spells. Appointed Saturday 2nd team captain for 2009 and had an outstanding first season in the role as his team claimed the league title comfortably while he claimed a remarkable 46 wickets at 13.78.

Tom is an ex-colts captain and two-time Colt of the Year winner. A versatile batsman and a genuinely good fielder, he is an established first-team player. Enjoyed his best ever season with the bat in 2008 and extended this prolific form into the 2009 and 2010 seasons striking around 1500 runs in each season. Offers variety to the attack with his leg-spin as a potential partnership breaker and in recent years has also started to keep wicket. Elected club captain at the 2008 players meeting.

 

Joined the club in 2008 and quickly established himself at the top of the order as a consistent run-scorer for the 1st team. Previously played club cricket in Wales. Having retired from 1st XI cricket (before he got dropped !) he was due to take over the captaincy of the Saturday 2nds in 2009 but shocked the club when he was appointed Chief Executive of Sussex CCC in the winter of 2008. His new role inspired a 1st XI comeback in 2010 though 2011 sees him back in the homely bosom of the 2nd XI to pepper backward point opening the batting and to stand around behind the stumps wearing yellow gloves

A young batsman with a bright future, Patrick has played regular
Sunday cricket since 2007 and made a number of appearances in the Saturday 2nds 6A League title campaign in 2009. Scored his first senior century at the age of 14 for the Sunday 2nds against Holyport. Made his Saturday 1st team debut in 2010 and played in the promotion winning side of 2011.  Goes by the nickname of barbie.

An outstanding clubman, Mike has fulfilled playing roles in all three league teams in recent years and captained the Sunday 1st XI from 2007-2009. His batting particuarly has improved in recent years, with a top score of 69 for the 3s in 2010. Also bowls medium pace and is the current Club Vice-Captain.

Simon joined the club at the beginning of the 2005 season, and was a 1's specialist number 8 for a number of years.  These days he turns out near the top of the order for the 2's.  Definitely one of the top five best looking people at the club and "alpha male" in the absence of A. Murdoch.

Allegedly picked for the 2's as a batsman these days although rumours abound that he is only included to collect match fees for the skipper and wind-up Dave Brooks.  Bowls occasional left-arm spin or medium pace and has the distinction of being the only club member in recent memory to secure 5-wicket hauls with both!

Another young all-rounder who is firmly established in the 2nd XI after spending much of the 2007 season away. Currently opening the batting for the 2nds and consistently giving his side decent starts, his cover drive is widely regarded to be one of the best in the club. Has 1st XI experience from the early part of the 2006 promotion season.

Tim returned to the club in 2007, mainly playing Sunday friendlies before starting to play regular league cricket for the 3s in 2010. He quickly became a key player, scoring quick runs at the top of the order and keeping wicket. Scored his first hundred against OMT 3s in a mammoth stand with Tom Wells-Cole.

An all round player, known for not liking bowlers who bowl straight but will smash anything outside off to the boundary.  Applies his 6ft7’ frame to delivering medium pace balls which from that height can easily end up around the batsmen’s head.  Likes curry and beer.

Quick bowler and handy batsman who bats anywhere in the order, Rob established himself as a regular in the Saturday 2nd XI in 2008 and 2009. He enjoyed an outstanding end to the 2009 season, claiming his first senior five wicket haul at Hayes. Unfortunately missed the entire of the 2010 league season with injury but will be looking to make 1st XI appearances in 2011.

Captained the age group sides as a youngster with great success, leading the team to a number of impressive victories. Kept wicket for Berkshire colts and the Cookham Dean first team from the age of 14, but has now been forced to concentrate on opening the batting due to a finger injury. Made his highest first team score of 116* at home to Chenies & Latimer in 2009, as Cookham Dean chased down 260.

Rory has been an established top-order 1st team batsmen for several seasons and topped the averages for the side in their recent promotion winning season to TVL Division 2a in 2011. No longer has the confidence to bowl after getting the yips, but he has developed into arguably the best fielder at Ricketts Field.

Popular figure at the club since taking up the game relatively late. Firmly established in the Sunday 1st team, Seth has turned himself into a useful batsman and seam bowler. One game in 2008 saw him claim four wickets. Made one Saturday 1st team appearance in 2007.

The Sunday sensation of 2007, Andy smashed his way to the top of the Sunday 2s batting averages after a number of quickfire 50s. The most memorable of these innings being an 80 not out against Holyport to guide his side to victory. Can also bowl useful medium pace and is a fine fielder. Made his Saturday 2nds debut against Marlow Park in 2008, scoring 30 not out. Scored a crucial unbeaten half century for the 2nds to guide them to victory over Kew that ultimately saw them avoid relegation.

The first West Indian to play for the club since Carlos Thomas in 2007. From the tiny island of St Maarten, Kayode has played representative age-group cricket for Barbados

Leg-spinning all-rounder, with a Dutch passport to allow him to play as a non-Overseas player.

Yet another product of CDCC's successful colts system, Andy has played regular senior cricket for years now. Plays mainly in the 3rd XI and Sunday 1sts where his medium pace bowling and aggressive batting is particuarly valuable. Has also filled in for the 1st and 2nd XIs in recent years.

Mark joined the club in 2008 and proved a useful addition to the Sunday sides with his reliable batting and medium pace bowling. He ended the season on a high with a fine innings of 96 not out against Stoke Green.

Joined the club in 2007 and had a slow start. Then in 2008 won the julian cup with the under 13's and now plays under 15's and plays regularly for mens.

Tom joined the club in 2008 and after doing well on Sundays Tom got a run in the 2nd XI towards the end of the 2009 season. Despite initially struggling for the 2s, two successive centuries for the 3rds in 2010 saw him regain his confidence and he has since established himself at the top of the order for the 2nds and later made his 1st XI debut in 2010. Also scored the first colts century for the u15's against Wargrave.
