Mike Kettle

LHB/OB/WK Born: Colchester, 1983

Quite probably the best wicket keeper in local cricket and another to come to the club via West Bergholt, having previously played to a higher standard with Colchester & East Essex.

An elegant early order batsman who strikes the ball very crisply but has yet to deliver his best for Abberton in this department. Bowls non-turning off breaks.

Extremely vain, refuses to be photographed without cap. Must have had a tortuous paper round as a boy. Another whose appearances are limted because he has to ask permission to play.
