After a couple of years away from the game, Marky returned to cricket in 2009 in sensational style. In his second game back, he made a fine 50 against British Airways. This form continued for the rest of the season which included two centuries for the Sunday 2nds.

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.

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.

Oli made his first appearance for the club at the end of 2009 for the 3rd XI, making a well-made 33 against Wendover. 2010 has seen him move between the 2nd and 3rd XIs, he struck 58 against Harefield 4ths for the 3s.

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.

The Ravi Bopara of the Thames Valley League, Sawan has played in the first team since 2005, and established himself as a top order batsman in 2006. He has scored hundreds against Hurley and Grayshott, and also bowls useful off-spin. Nephew of ex-first team player Bipin Patel, and the son of Raj Gandesha. Struggled with the bat in recent years but his bowling has become increasingly crucial, and he claimed a first TVL five wicket haul against Royal Ascot in 2009.

Jonathan is generally a hard-hitting lower/middle order batsman but has been recently found some form as an opener in the 3rds. Leg-break bowler and current 3rd team captain. Also a long term stalwart of the Sunday 2nds and their current vice captain.

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.

Greg joined the club in 2007 and regularly turned out for the Sunday sides throughout the season. He bowls loopy off-spin and bats anywhere in the order, tending to score his runs quickly.

Clive is currently the longest serving member of the first team, and has been a consistent run scorer in recent years, topping the batting averages in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Also keeps wicket, and is known for his ridiculous and often irrelevant comments behind the stumps.

im Mike Maroudas... Just google me

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.

One of many products of the clubs fine youth set-up, 20-year old Rory is an established top-order 1st team batsmen, scoring 457 league runs in 2010, who has been a regular in the side since the age of 16.  Arguably the best fielder in the club which has become an increasingly important feature of his game since the decline of his once useful off-spin in the winter prior to the 2010 season. Career highlights include scoring 135* away at Royal Ascot during his brief spell in the 2nds at the beginning of the sides promotion winning 2009 season and winning colt of the year in 2005.  

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.

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.

Pres has captained the first team since 2005, transforming the teams fortunes. Having overseen a disappointing first campaign , with the team finishing ninth in the Second Division of the Chiltern League, he remarkably led the team to promotion in 2006.
He is a canny medium pace bowler, and regularly appeared near the top of the Chiltern League bowling averages. Having come to the club as an all-rounder, his batting has taken a disappointing slump and he is now a regular number 11. Suspect in the field.

Pres's description of himself: super fit player. A member of CDCC into his 7th season

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.

Isaac is a medium pace seam bowler who is younger brother of Jake Richardson. Came to the club in 2007 and has made regular appearances for both the Saturday 2's and 3's along with both Sunday teams since. A regular number 11 with the bat, although he thrives on any chances to be promoted up the order. Known for his sometimes humorous but often annoying and irrelevant 'banter' in the field.

Classy top order batsman who started the 2008 season in fine style with Cookham Dean's first ever Thames Valley League century with 100 against Marlow Park 2s. Brought to the club by Andrew Pett in 2005 and became a consistent run scorer in the 2nds before getting call ups to the 1st team in the early part of the 2007 and 2008 seasons. Has moved in between the 1st and 2nd XIs since but has been appointed 2nd XI Captain for 2011. Can also bowl at a decent pace but is often erratic.

Medium pace stalwart bowler has had a successful first season at CDCC in the 2nd XI and as many other games as he can manage. Especially loves Maidenhead and Bray where he snared a total of 12 wickets in two matches..........apparently he is not invited to their end of season party. 
Unfortunately has experienced a poor first season with the bat despite "glimpses" of talent, he puts this down to the lack of support from his "love to see you fail" colleagues and inappropriate placing in the batting line ups............in short, he has number seven written all over him
Known as "the cackle" due to his belly laugh and loves bowling at anyone under 5ft tall or over 60.

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.
