Profile:

I started off playing with my dad in my garden when I was five years old and I started off wanting to be a wicket keeper because you could dive around all over the place. My dad then took me up to the club (Horsforth) and I completed my first training session with Mr Pickford (A Horsforth cricket club juniors legend). Then when I was 10 there was another wicket keeper that played in my team with me called Thomas Monks . Mr Pickford told us we had to share wicket keeper so I decided to become i medium paced bowler. In my first game of bowling I was really nervous and I bowled a wide ball and my dad shouted aim for the stumps and i got a hat-trick in the next three balls. When I was twelve I remember getting back from a school trip and my dad telling me i was playing with him in Tim Browns third eleven and I was really nervous. That day I batted at four and got twelve and I was run out by my father. This was the start of my third team career.  Now I am fourteen and I play third team cricket and the odd second team cricket when there short. my top score when I was 12 my top score for the seniors was 12. when I was 13 my top score was 49 and this year so far my top score is 18.
