MEET THE WORLD CRICKET WATCH TEAM…
David Siddall, Editor
The opening batsman that England never wanted. Despite rejection from the England camp, his passion for cricket has never waned. Never forgets being called a pommie c bomb on his first ever night out in Australia.

Blaise Murphet, Contributing Editor
Blaise is a cricket devotee, who fondly remembers the glory years of the West Indies, particularly his time in the Caribbean watching and talking cricket. A keen advocate of test cricket in particular, he has begrudgingly accepted that Brad Hodge slamming sixes in T20 is pretty damn exiting

David Green, columnist (the Gideon Haigh of WCW)
David’s never realised his dream of captaining his country in an Ashes series Down Under. He’s now trying to convert the french to cricket (with little success to date!). His blog: The Reverse Sweep

Jimi Stephens
Jimi was born with the head of a 15 pound baby and despite taking 16 years to grow into this monstrous noggin, he managaed to become a handy first drop and gloveman for his local club in Richmond, Victoria. Because he likes to watch Rahul Dravid bat, people have often thought he is blind.

Stephen Thomas, Pundit and betting analyst
Steve was a talented cricketing youngster, unfortunately a dodgy right eye thwarted his destiny to be Australia’s top all rounder. Fortunately his left eye is magic at defying the bookies odd’s and picking a winner. Join Punter Steve for his semi regular column on betting plus tit bits on love and life in the city.

Tim Mathias, writer, researcher

Stuart Coull
Stuart grew up in Scotland and is testament that Scotland can play cricket, he opens the bowling right arm pretty f#$king quick and is a lower order batsman that gives it some serious tap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jeremy Loadman
Like the rest of the World Cricket Watch team this chap has limited cricketing ability but bowls a straight-break to match anything Cameron White can dish up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rob Marrs
Rob is a 27 year old blogger based in Edinburgh. A football and cricket obsessive, he has the distinction of being possibly the only man to score a hat-trick for the Northen Hemisphere in a game of football*.
