An explosive top order batsman who can take any attack apart. He has a safe pair of hand in the field and an intelligent cricket brain. Can often be heard to say "I'm too old for this"

Right hand batsman. Right arm fast bowler. Mild mannered top order batsman who never throws his wicket away. An accumulator of many runs who can bat for an entire innings. Useful, skiddy fast medium pace bowler who swings the ball both ways. A solid fielder and grade A wicket keeper.

Much like a Southern version of Darren Gough Pete will always give 100% and will run in and bowl all day if you asked him to.

Can be heard from fine leg doing his market trader impersonation with classics such as "bim-bam-boozle" "one brings two", "send him back now" and "been here too long". Pete believes that no matter how bad the situation Ongar can fight back and win.

An underrated lower middle order batsman who can hold up an end when necessary.

6ft 7 Rob is a new member to Ongar in 2008. As a bowler Rob has loads of potential as new dimension to the second eleven attack and looks like becoming a fixture in the Ongar team

Left arm swing bowler Ian bowls good old fashioned full length seamers. With the ability to probe away and mix up in and out swing Ian keeps batsmen honest.

Despite generally batting down the order as a qualified umpire Ian spends more time in the middle than most of the Ongar batsmen.

Classical left handed batsman Jack stepped up to the twos in late 2007 and has laid down a marker for the 2008 season with a classic unbeaten fifty at Old Southendians. With a sound technique and a heavy bat Jack is able to occupy the increase and then attack the bad balls.

From the Nelly Hartington school of cricket Tim is a youthful spinner with the ability to turn the ball both ways as well as introducing a multitude of variations.

Left arm swing bowler.
Mario is an italian South African....confused?
A useful swing bowler who gets wickets at crucial times. A genuine number 11 who wouldn't know one end of a bat from the other and bought his last bat from eBay for £1.00 ! A really nice guy who smokes cigarettes that look like matchmakers and drives multicoloured cars.

Right hand batsman. Broke into the twoose in 2001 and contributed
some useful runs. Scored his maiden century against Woodford Green. Upright and powerful on both the front and the back foot but rather impatient at times. The youngster in the camp and gets the brunt of the mickey taking but always takes it in good spirit. ITMD !!!

Tall Paul is an integral part of the team. Strike the ball very well and is handy with the ball.

Social secretary

Formerly 3rd XI Captain, club legend 'Sukks' broke into the 2nd XI in 2007 and will be looking to cement his place as a accumulator of runs at the top of the order.

As a specialist slip fielder Sukks has taken many a important catch, most notably the one handed stunner against Epping away in 2007 that set Ongar on their way to victory.

Mark bowls some rarely seen but useful off breaks and will be looking to unleash these later in the season as the pitches harden and detioriate.
