Peter Nevill
Draft Round:1
Playing Role: Wicketkeeper Batsman

Victorian by birth (well, nobody can be perfect), Nevill moved to New South Wales in 2008 to try and find more opportunities, having been stuck behind Matthew Wade at Victoria. 4 years later, Nevill was once again stuck behind Wade, this time pushing for a spot in the Australian test side.

One of the best pure 'keepers in Australia, and right up there in global terms, as well as an underrated batsman, Nevill's outstanding quality can be shown by a first-class batting average of 45.16 - the highest of any wicketkeeper in Australia, and through his representation of Australia at U/17 level.

He is a keen user of Twitter and has become a cult icon with New South Wales fans for the way he continually bailed New South Wales out in the 2011/12 season. He shows courage, grit and places a high price on his wicket, while also providing a solid, efficient base behind the stumps.

The Shakespearean Animals CC is glad to welcome the man simply known as 'Nev'.
