Nickname: Vinny
Born: 17 Jan,1985
Location: Causeway Bay
Occupation: Software Programmer
Interests outside cricket: Volleyball, table tennis, good food and beer, movies, old Bollywood music.
Batting style: Left hand, middle order
Bowling style: Left arm, medium fast
Previous cricketing experience: I started cricket in the streets of my township with tennis ball in my school days and that's where I fell in love with the game. As an all-rounder, I have played for my previous firms and resumed my cricket in Hong Kong after 7 years and joined Taipan and played for them for 3 seasons in Saturday league. Also play social games for HKU on Sundays.
Best/worst cricketing experience: Best - When I took a Ranji player's wicket in our corporate cup (that's when I realized the aerodynamics of a new ball is so different) and scoring a match winning 50 taking my team to victory from about 40 for 6.
Worst - When I was thrashed for 4 boundaries in a single over in a knock out match where we had a small target to defend. Played for a lot of clubs in college and the corporate world.
In HK I have been part of Centaurs, Taipans - Saturday League, Taipans - Challengers League, HKU - Social Team.
Reason for joining Lamma C.C.: Fun loving and friendly group of cricketers.
Favourite cricket player: Adam Gilchrist & Wasim Akram
