Henry Parker
Born: Abergavenny (although I refuse to admit I'm Welsh)
Location: Disco Bay
Occupation: Corporate Spin Doctor/Government Relations Specialist
Interests (outside cricket): Political Anorak. History Anorak (spent six years studying it). Football Anorak. Blue Anoraks. Sometimes Yellow if they are not available. Bit susceptible to 90's Hip-hop and old skool jungle and drum and bass (bought my tape packs with me. Bit sad). Festivals. Decent films (i.e. ones that are reviewed well in the Observer. Not the Guardian. They aren't sophisticated enough for me)
Batting style: Right Hand, Lower Lower Middle Order
Bowling style: Leg/Head Breaks (with my new action it will be more of the first I hope)
Best and/or worst cricketing memories:
Worst - Virtually every skier that comes my way... Falling over half way up the pitch going for single on 48 and running myself out playing on Hackney Downs on a hot day in front of over 100 people. Highly embarrassing.
Cricketing experience:
Herefordshire U13's (my proudest moment)
Golden Valley Cricket Club (now defunct)
Dorstone Cricket Club (now defunct)
The Old Ineffectuals (now defunct... bit of a theme here)
Actors Anonymous (I'm not an Actor, but it didn't seem to matter)
Reason(s) for joining Lamma C.C.: I have to be honest, I went for the first club that looked like they would have me. Right Decision!
Favourite cricket player: Devon Malcolm (he's awesome)
