Rob Walker
Current
second eleven skipper and new father to baby Kieran, Rob joined the club for
a then club record of half a mild. Captain of numerous teams over the years, Rob
is a tactical genius; testimony to this was when, with the scores level and
one ball remaining and 4 wickets, he managed to get the bowler to run the
batsman out backing up and get the umpire to call over. This gained seven
points from a ball that was never actually bowled!!!
If you were looking for a comparison to Rob’s batting style it would have to
be Derrick Randall, as he is the only person seen to fidget more at the
crease.
Part time bowler with his mixture of wobblers and induckers, Rob is always
keen to have a go. In fact he has been known to go a very long way.
Great bloke to have on tour with many stories to be told, some of which
include: Miss Marple,The Polar Bear, The two inch eye incident and Crazy Golf
Match Fixing Scandal.
Previously an International singing star in the now defunct band The Walker
Brothers, although now he only sings occasionally at club karaoke nights when
Neil Diamond isn’t using his voice.
