TIGER IN THE SPOTLIGHT 2013: ED JUSZCZAK

So here we are again. This is my opportunity to look back on individuals who represented SpecialEffect this year in the beautiful game of cricket.

That's right, throughout the winter, we're going to swing the spotlight across the Ambush and pay homage to those Tigers who did our wonderful charity and cricket team proud throughout the 2013 season. 

The first Tiger to fall under the spotlight is Ed Juszczak.

Ed Juszczak - our first 2013 Tiger in the Spotlight

Having made his debut in the Ambush in 2011, Ed has been a regular ever since. Always brimming with enthusiasm, he's a proper competitor. Friendly and sporting but absolutely determined. Ed also appeared in the Ambush more than any other Tiger in the past season.

And what a great season he had. 

Ed loves his bowling and, with eight victims to his name, he topped the overall wicket takers for the 2013 season. His best bowling performance was at Swinbrook against Stuffed Beavers where he hauled 3-0-19-3. Amongst his wickets in that Tigers victory was potential Beavers match-turner, Phil Burgess (29). Who could forget his celebration as he turned and dedicated that wicket to his wife Karen and son Ross as they proudly looked on?

So let's take a look at Ed's bowling in league games, friendlies and overall ...

Ed's a lower order batsman but, again, he takes swinging the willow very seriously. So seriously that in four league and friendly innings' in the 2013 season he was not dismissed once. Interestingly, Ed's league and friendly batting figures ended up exactly the same as you'll see below ...

So there you have it. Thanks Ed for your enthusiasm, your commitment and for an excellent season on behalf of the Tigers. But most of all mate, thanks for being a total pleasure to play alongside.

Think you can get me out? Bring it!

Ed Juszczak ... Tiger, we salute you!
