The "Heavy Hammer" hasn't missed a tournament since 2000. His original pen portrait all those years ago highlights his cricketing ability but that is a distant memory now. Specialises in finding new ways to win the team Khyber.

18, Gary Hancock
One of our few Under 50's, expected to carry a big load in the field on his wonky knees and back. First toured with the Dilettantes at the ripe old age of 20 back in 1997, has plenty of experience to bring to various hotspots in the Kingdom.
