NICKNAME AND WHY:
Reggie - after the Australian actor Reg "the outrageous" Livermore. He is actually my uncle.
50’S IN ALL FORMS: I’ve made a lot of 40's.... not so many 50's.
100’S IN ALL FORMS:
I have 10 grade hundreds, 2 of them in 1st grade. I also have scored 11 hundreds in England but no one counts those.
SUPERSTITIONS:
It’s almost like an OCD.
Left shoe on first
Front pad on first
Have a fresh piece of gum when heading out
Mark centre 4 times when i start my innings.
Mark centre twice at the start of the over
Never score runs if I put on sunscreen just before batting.
BEST CRICKETING MOMENT:
Scoring my first , 1st grade hundred. Funnily enough, my mum turned up to watch, which was a very rare occurance. It was Against Fairfield. An attack which included Bollinger , Lambert and Krezja. Now that i think about it,thats a Test Bowling attack, so it’s probably the equivalent of a

FAVOURITE SPORTS COMMENTATOR:
Ian HEALY and Mike Atherton - i like the analitical side to their commentary
ANY BAD HABITS: Just Scottish Women - it always ends in tears.
FAVOURITE PART ABOUT CRICKET:
The changeroom banter, the competing and the friendships that you make.
WORST PART ABOUT CRICKET:
Being stuck in the field on a 40 degree day ,with the Opposition on 1- 300 and all your mates are in the pub.
FAVOURITE PLAYER AND WHY:
Test player would have to be Mike Hussey - as he works so hard on his game and he never gives his wicket away.
Club Player - would have to be my captain at Lechlade Cricket Club in England. He is 43 yrs old. He is so passionate about the game, so passionate about the club. He lives and breathes cricket. He is the best off-field captain I have ever met. If I can be as passionate and so involved in cricket when I am his age, I will be content.
MOST EMBARRASING MOMENT:
Having an on-field blow up with my captain, then misfielding the next ball. It went straight through my legs for 4 and I didn’t even get a hand on it.
HOW WOULD YOU SPEND YOUR LAST $20?
I have been in this situation on numerous Saturday nights- my last $20 often ends up at the kebab shop.
WHAT IS THE WORST SLEDGE YOU’VE COPPED?
I have been called every name under the sun over the years but the worst sledge actually came from my Gran. I stopped in at her place on the way home after i had scored a ton. I said to her " Gran, I batted really well and scored a 100 today" .Her reply was " Did you bring me cake from afternoon tea". Great!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO IMPROVE THE GAME?
Greater sponsorship of grade clubs. So many clubs get by on volunteers and without them Sydney grade cricket would be a non event .They work so hard and get little recognition. More money towards cricket at grade level would improve facilities and the ability to attract spectators. Hopefully, keeping an interest in our national pastime.
ANY ADVICE FOR YOUNGSTERS IN THE GAME:
Work hard at your game and always aim to improve..... you are only 3 good innings away from playing at the next level.
Enjoy the time you spend with your club and with your team mates. When you get older, you will look back on these days as the best time in your life
