Chris Mather, Age 20, Right Arm Fast
Medium Chris has made giant strides with
his bowling over each of the last 4 seasons since he was
introduced to first team cricket. Last year was his
best to date, taking nearly 40 wickets with a good
average and economy rate. For the past 3 years he has
been the foil to Tahir Maqsood, bowling with disciplined
lines and lengths and making sure the batsmen do not cut
loose; this year he will be leading the attack, a job
that he can accomplish superbly. He has a copy-book
action, bowls at a brisk pace and hits the seam
regularly, and there is no doubt that he can improve
again this year. Unfortunately at the moment Chris is
injured with a knee problem; we hope he can be fit, his
bowling – not to mention his very competent batting and
superb outfielding – will be crucial once the pitches
harden up.
