Nickname: Cakey
Year Joined Club: 2017
Playing Role: Opening batsman and second choice wicket keeper
Batting Style: Right handed
Bowling Style: Non-exsistent
Career Highlights: Nearly carrying my bat against Westbourne in 2018, just 4 balls short and it was never LBW
Profile: Newly appointed chairman for the 2019 season. Ironically I Joined Chidham after playing against them in 2016. I batted at 4 that day and having gone in early was subjected to a hostile working over by there opening bowlers , it was an OK knock. However it was the friendly and welcoming attitude towards the visiting team that day, coupled with the fact the Skipper unbeknown to me was my neighbor at work that I jumped at the chance to play for them. A great club with an inclusive ethos which I am happy to still be a part of.

Batting Style: Right handed
Bowling Style: Right arm mixed bag
Career Highlights: Taking 3 catches at Wisborough Green during the 2013 Brighton tour. Captaining the Hambrook side to Chidbrook Cup glory in 2014 and hitting my first 6 and scoring 25 runs in the process.
Profile: Not played cricket since my school days but a random chat at the annual local school duck race got me involved in the club in 2013. Batting and bowling has steadily improved over the last few years thanks to the help of the other players culimating in me winning the Most Improved player award in 2015.

Nickname: The Wild Thing
Year Joined Club: 2013
Playing Role: Bastman
Batting Style: Baseball
Bowling Style: Wide!
Career Highlights: Duck Prize 2015
Profile: Joined with Vinnie in 2013 after our skills at duck racing were noticed by Clarkie (definite duck theme going on here). Never played much other than beach cricket before so a bit of a steep learning curve but with the support of my team I now like to believe that I am very comfortable with Bat in Hand, which my Duck prize in 2015 proves, it was only 2 and my first ever cricket award.
Nickname: Gubbsie

Career Highlights: Smashing his first six away to Hambledon in 2017 (12ft boundary)
Profile: Clubman but not mini. Cricket enthusiast extraordinaire. Best known for his umpiring and fielding skills. Gubbsy is one of the 3 primary school teachers within the squad, who feel the need to award stickers and place gold stars in the score book.
This despite constant reminders that a beer down the Barleycorn would be a more appropriate reward.
Nickname: Pinky

Playing Role: All rounder comic genius (Club Captain)
Batting Style: Left handed
Bowling Style: Right arm wobble
Career Highlights: Watching Ben slap a ton at Oaklands Park, Ben and I had a winning stand of 120 but Ben scored 107 of them.
Profile: The club Captain, a larger than life comical genius who can often be seen wearing Rupert the Bear or chef like trousers. Chris is an all rounder who is comfortable with both bat and ball and also a good tactician too although rarely wins the toss. Not a bad golfer either

Bowling Style: Right arm fast medium, downhill trundler with occasional surprise delivery
Career Highlights: A cabinet full of trophies! World Stone Skimming Champion.
Profile: All round sportsman, Brilliant. Quiet, but silent waters run deep. This guy's passion for the game is immense as is his contribution with bat and ball. However he draws the line at running more than a single and then only if absolutely necessary i.e. to keep the strike. (profile written by Paul Walmsley)
Nickname: The Legend
Year Joined Club: 2008
Playing Role: Bowler
Batting Style: Right hand bat
Bowling Style: Right arm medium
Career Highlights:
Profile: Legend. Possibly the greediest bowler as he nurtures a reputation for bowling extras. Works hard, plays hard. Steve has taught me more than anyone about the "spirit of the game" ( Neil look it up on the M.C.C. website) . Clarky's bowling can be devastating, but you can never be sure for which team. Steve likens himself to a combination of Boycott and Garner. The only problem is he bowls like Geoffrey and bats like Joel. (profile written by Paul Walmsley).
Nickname: Will / Saffer
Year Joined Club: 2014
Playing Role: All rounder
Batting Style: Left hand bat
Bowling Style: Left hand medium pace
Career Highlights: Club all rounder in 2015, his first full season and also slapped 45 runs for Bosham in only his second league match to help the home team to victory.
Profile: Chidham's only over seas player, a never say die attitude, his body is in absolute bits but he is prepared to play through the pain, what broken arm? Has fully established himself in the team now and is just as happy bowling as with the bat, happy to spill blood for the cause!

Career Highlights: 81 not out aginst Emsworth 08/06/16
Profile: Incredibly consistent player with both bat and ball. Mr. Reliable. Renowned for his laugh when any misfortune occurs to a fellow team mate. Interestingly positioned deep in the field, the hyenas cackle still pierces the heart of the unfortunate cricketer who receives it. A great performer who is available for children's parties and Bar Mitzvahs. (profile written by Paul Walsmley)

Playing Role: All rounder
Batting Style: Right hand bat
Bowling Style: Right arm medium
Career Highlights: ?
Profile: A great sportsman. A bit O.C.D. about neatness though (look smart play smart). We had to draw the line when he brought along an extension lead and a vacuum cleaner to give the wicket a quick once over. (Profile written by Paul Walmsley)

Bowling Style:
Career Highlights: Taking two wickets at Emsworth 08/06/16
Profile: I would describe myself as a bit of a bowler, bit of a batsman depending on how well I've done in either the week before! Handy in chasing down balls in the deep, handy in chasing down pints at the Barley Corn after!
Nickname: Strudders

Nickname: Crooky / Big Al
Year Joined Club: 2015

Career Highlights: Playing in front of his 20 strong personal entourage at the Chidbrook Cup 2015

Big Al is one of the up and coming Chidham & Hambrook players and hopefully the club will have a big enough helmet to fit his head when he next pads up.
