ncwcc 1st XI cricket team

"Wanderers 1st XI play in the Premier Division of the Norfolk Cricket Alliance, which is the senior league in Norfolk. The club has a very strong tradition of raising talented young players through the ranks, on into higher grade cricket. In the past 5 years two first team players have gone on to play for first class counties and the team currently boasts a
number of other exciting juniors with at least minor counties potential.

Mixed in with the young pups are some slightly older (although not necessarily wiser) heads. In Nigel Young's case, this head is also completely bald! Mind you, the old timer can still bowl a bit! The first team usually also throws a foreigner into the melting pot and its current "guest" is Mr Mohammad Wasim, one of the most uncivilised Asian gentlemen one could ever have the misfortune of knowing! Seriously though, Wasim is already a club legend, not just for his outstanding strokeplay, clever bowling, insightful and intuitive coaching and leadership, but more for his ability to do all of this on a diet of Bacardi, fish n' chips and fags!!

Good on you, Waz, we love you!

The others in the team know who they are. We are always striving to better and we try to be as friendly as possibly. Please do come and join us, either to play or for a drink.

(First team Captain - well, at least until Wasim arrives anyway!)"
