Glamorgan Squad 2007
Batsmen
James Maher (33)
The one overseas player that we'll be using. James is an Australian opening batsman with a FC average of 41 and an OD average of 40. We'll be expecting big things from him.
Michael Powell (30)
Michael will be our captain for the season. He's a fine opening batsman with a FC average of 40 and an OD average of 28.
Daniel Cherry (27)
Daniel is unlikely to get too many games as a backup opening batsman.
With a FC average of 28 and a disappointing OD average of 16, Daniel has failed to fulfill the promise shown before he gained a contract with us.
An added string his bow is that he looks like he could be useful with his part time medium paced deliveries.
Ben Wright (19)
Ben is in his second season with us, but had limited opportunities last season.
He came into the side late in the piece, scoring 72 in his one FC innings and 37 in his one OD innings.
He has a big responsibility to shoulder this season in our top order.
Wayne Eyre (20)
Wayne was suggested to us as an exceptional talent, having averaged over 50 at youth level. We snapped him up as one of our youth signings and are hoping that he can deliver the goods for us in his debut season.
Stuart Fowler (21)
Stuart is another of our youth signings. He too was averaging over 50 at youth team level, and we were very fortunate to gain his services in addition to Wayne's.
Mark Wallace (25)
Mark is one of the two keepers in the squad, but has yet to establish himself in the number one position.
He has a solid FC average of 28, but a disappointing OD average of 16.
Nicky Peng (24)
Nicky had big wraps on him as a youngster, but has not lived up to those expectations.
However, despite a FC average of 24 and an OD average of 25, he's expected to be a regular for us this season.
In practice, he's shown some ability with the ball, so his offspin could yet see him regarded as an allrounder.
William Bragg (20)
William is the second keeper in our squad, but has shown enough promise in training to be given a start ahead of Mark Wallace initially. Whether or not he can keep Mark out of the side will depend on his performances.
Ryan Watkins (23)
With a FC average of 21 and an OD average of 13, Ryan has a huge task ahead of him if he's to retain a contract with us in the long term.
Gareth Rees (22)
Gareth has only had a small handful of games for us to date, so not too much can be read into his current FC average of 21 and OD average of 13.
Could this be the season that makes or breaks his career as a batsman?
Richard Grant (22)
Richard is another young batsman yet to perform well at this level. His FC average is just 18 and his OD average 21.
Along with both Ryan Watkins and Gareth Rees, he must take full advantage of any opportunities that arise to secure a future with us.
Bowlers
Steven Clark (24)
All the big guns were after this more than useful RMF bowler, but we managed to entice him to come to us under a three year contract!
Steven has an impressive FC bowling average of 25, but is unproven in ODs.
He will be the lynchpin of what was otherwise looking a pretty ordinary bowling attack for us.
Steven is also a useful tailender with the bat.
Simon Jones (28)
This RF bowler is England contracted, but I can't see him being unavailable for us very often, as he seems to be well down in the pecking order of their pace bowling stocks.
Simon has a useful FC bowling average of 32, but his OD average of 47 leaves a lot to be desired.
Huw Waters (20)
Huw shows a lot of promise as a RMF bowler and is a vital part of my plans. Along with Steven Clark and Simon Jones, he makes up a pace trio that should be able to hold their own with most teams.
Huw's FC bowling average is 31, but he is unproven in ODs.
David Harrison (25)
David is another RMF bowler. Although he has a FC bowling average of 36, David will be of most value in the OD games with an average of 27 and a good economy rate.
He is also a useful tailend batsman.
Alexander Wharf (31)
Alexander is yet another of our RMF pool. He has a FC average of 37 and an OD average of 30. Unlikely to get too many games, he is a useful backup bowler to have, especially with the added bonus of his batting.
Andrew Davies (30)
Andrew is a RM bowler whose main asset is in the OD form of the game.
His FC average is 43 and his OD average is 26.
Richard Knowles (22)
Richard was the last of our youth signings. He is an OS bowler who was averaging 30 per wicket at youth level.
He shows more promise than that in our eyes and he will be our number one spin bowler ahead of the experienced Dean Cosker.
Dean Cosker (29)
Dean is a SLA bowler whose FC average is 39 and OD average 33.
A steady rather than spectacular bowler who could well get a lot of games depending on how young Richard Knowles performs.
Kyle Tudge (20)
Kyle is a completely unknown quantity as a SLA bowler. He will likely get the opportunity reasonably early on to show whether he has the goods!
