TIGER IN THE SPOTLIGHT: HUW NEYROUD

 Tiger in the Spotlight: Huw Neyroud

Judging from the change in his Facebook relationship status, Huw has had a bit of a rough week so lets swing the spotlight on him and give the young Tiger a bit of attention.


 Huw gets his feet at the ready as keeper Bob Gall looks on

Huw is one of several young Combe cricketers who joined the Ambush throughout the 2012 season. All of them decent players, all of them thoroughly good blokes. Huw is certainly no exception.

Like Alec Stewart, Adam Gilchrist and Matty Prior, Huw is a wicket-keeper who knows how to handle a bat. In his two games last season, against Stuffed Beavers and Southfield Superstars, he took two stumpings and knocked up 42 runs. 


 Huw and John Grain watch on as that one disappears through mid-wicket

Unlike Robbie Nicholson, Huw doesn't provide fireworks with his batting. He goes about his work quietly and efficiently, keeping the scoreboard ticking over with ones and twos whilst placing the odd bad ball through the field for four. And, considering the bowlers only got his wicket in one of his two innings, he's pretty difficult to remove from the crease too. Every team needs a Huw and we're proud to have him in the Ambush.

Tiger, we salute you!
