SIMON DRIVER
Simon learned his cricket as a junior at both Wollaston and the NCA before
making his senior debut for our Second Eleven in 1994. He progressed quickly and
soon made the transition up the the Firsts.
As a genuine all-rounder Simon can perform both aspects of the game well and his
junior goal-keeping training obviously paid off giving him a safe pair of hands
and excellent ground fielding skills. In most
games he bats at 5 or 6 and takes the new ball - producing some
match-winning
performances. He joined the ‘Best
All Rounders’ list
2006 with 253 runs and 20 wickets and was one wicket short of going on the
list again in 2007. Not a fussy eater.
1998 Partridge
Young
Player of the Year.
A top score of 37 not out against an inspired Isham and an excellent
32 in difficult conditions at Rothwell helped Simon to a total of 210
First
Xl runs at an average of 16.15. 15
wickets complemented a similar average in the Millman at 23.6 each and hopefully
his aggressive bowling will reap the same rewards in the County League before
long. Again
it is pleasing to see another erstwhile member of our youth squad make an impact
at senior level.
