  • The clubs non-stick 2nd XI wicket keeper and vice-captain, but a big lad so thank XXXX he is not aware of the author of this profile. This especially true as his other leisure activity is a door man at a certain entertainment establishment in Edinburgh linked to the Polish community which involves young ladies showing their ballet prowess. Famously commented during Euro 2004 when the Poles were presumably watching the game , that he had spent 2 hrs sitting watching a match with 4 scantily clad ladies, that working life was a pain - how true

    Boycott like opening batsman who would prefer test cricket so he could take walks rather than runs.

    By his own recognition, Peter's career highlight was with the bat this season (2005) in the Masterton Cup. While, on the international pitch, against a few internationalists, all Village batsmen were walking from and to the pavilion at an alarming rate, Pete remained strong with a respectable 3 not out. Peter made history that night when he appealed for the stumping of the Village’s last batsman – his brother, Graeme – from the non-strikers end taking all by surprise – a batsman appealing for the other to be out! After receiving the decision he had hoped for, Peter gave a loud cheer of celebration, followed by a lap of honour as he remains the only Village batsman to be not out on the Grange and Scotland wicket.

    Peter is a valued member of the club and has done wonders with his brother Yoda in developing fund raising methods to improve our finances as well as turning out whenever and wherever required.

    Has also discovered a vicious spin bowling action, akin to a Murali or a Warne, after claiming 2 wickets for 13 runs against Morton in a midweek fixture. His variation of pace and length bamboozling not only the opposing batsmen but also his teammates and himself.
