Jon Mills

Nickname: Millsy
Champion of many a weight-lifting contest, Jon is the archetypal gentle giant, unless you happen to be bowling at him in nets.  Fortunately Jon doesn’t net very often, but when he does, no-one escapes his immense power and clean striking.  Capable of finding boundaries on the largest grounds, he is potentially among the most destructive players in the league, as witnessed memorably against Darcy and Blackrod this year.  He can, however, go into his shell a bit in match situations.  His slip fielding has improved massively over the past year, and this, together with his batting, will make him a key figure next season.

Best moments:  Darcy Lever away.  A rapid 42 led Edgworth to a good total, and his four excellent slip catches, notably the ones to dismiss Bundela and Morris, were match-winners.  Jon is yet another Edgworth man about to join the married ranks.  Congratulations to him.

Worst moments:  Two dropped catches.  Firstly he dropped Standish’s brilliant pro early on when the two teams met at Edgworth.  He went on to make 99.  Secondly an absolute sitter at Clifton that has to be included just for comedy value.
