Name: Mark Roberts Age: 36 Nickname: Statto , (Static at Dyfryn), The Man from Ankle Team: Morriston (2nds and 3rds for many years plus a few Welsh Cup games for Firsts) Bat/Bowl/Wct: Have done all three including opening the batting and on one infamous day keeping wicket When did you join the club? 1981 Highest Score: 49 not out v Springfield (Essex) before a prat called Tony Brown got out and left me stranded Best Figures: 12-4-15-7 v Dyfryn Most Memorable Moment: The day we gained promotion to Division 1 (The start of the glory years) Most Embarrassing Moment: 1984 at Llandarcy. A wet day. I chased a ball to the boundary, slipped in a puddle, aquaplaned for several yards before ending up on my back in the mud and water. You had to be there. Or maybe at Usk when I slid for a ball and disappeared over the boundary into a thorn bush. Best Ground: Pontarddulais, Morriston Park and Bradshaw Worst Ground: Maesteg Town Best Teas: Bradshaw and Tondu where we had very nice fruit and ice cream. Also the Gowerton cakes fill a gap. Worst Teas: Wick (MOD still examining mystery fish paste from 1985) Fairwood Favourite Drink: Diet Coke. Not a lager top. On my first night on bar duty at Landore I was asked to serve a pint of lager with a lemon top and duly drew a pint of lager and added a slice of lemon. Seemed logical to me!!!!!!! Best Tour: All are special but my dream tour would be the First Day of Taunton with the rain, Mickys ditch and Elvis. The Saturday at Swinford with belly button beer drinking and the Sunday at Shrewsbury when we left Peter Morgan behind. Person Most want to Run Out: Anybody fit and young and looking to run 2s and god forbid 3s. Best Player Ever Played with: Sudesh Dhaniram (also I once got Kenyan Captain Steve Tikolo out) Favourite Player in the world: Richards (Viv not Sam) Botham, Gower and Darren Jones Music to walk out to bat: Living on a Prayer. It only takes a Minute Cricketing Quote: We wont bowl a ball all weekend lads
