Matt Bendelow
1. FULL NAME: Jonathan Morgan Trippett
2. NICKNAME(S): Morgan The Organ
3. DATE OF BIRTH: 06/09/69
4. CLUBS PLAYED FOR:
5. TWICKENHAM CC DEBUT: 2006
6. BATTING STYLE: Straight, becoming
firm, ultimately solid and long especially if there is a little
dampness. Steady paced before explosive ending – ultimately, prone
to a trickle down legside at the end. Tend to get on with it if
balls are full. Enjoy playing my own game at certain times of the
month, preferring the aerial route.
7. BOWLING STYLE: Cautious and slow
while balls are swinging then straight and penetrative, really
pushing it through towards the end. Adept at subtle changes of
pace and length if play becomes repetitive. Don’t mind
experimental, googlies can be a little wayward, once tried a
chinaman – never again.
8. PREFERED FIELDING POSITION: In
close to begin with, especially if balls are played with soft
hands. Feel it important to get on top from the off, seize the
initiative and be dominant. Tend to back off if balls are being
whipped in the air.
9. CAREER BEST / CLUB BEST SCORE: 44
10. CAREER BEST / CLUB BEST BOWLING: 5
– 34
11. BEST TCC MOMENT: Holding Bree
Fenton to an 8 minute, 24 second conversation without making eye
contact once.
12. WORST TCC MOMENT: Being held to an
8 minute, 24 second conversation on “My Top 5 promiscuous nights”
by Karl Rand.
13. FAVOURITE GROUND: Anywhere soft,
with consistent bounce where I can get into a steady rhythm.
14. LEAST FAVOURITE GROUND: Anything
that causes high levels of static.
15. ONE ITEM EVERY CRICKET TEA SHOULD HAVE:
So long as my meat is moist and the juice easy to swallow – I’m
not fussy.
