Captain : David Smith

Players
Michael  Antonelli Member profile Michael Antonelli
Michael is vice captain and a very capable cricketer. He bowls vicious off spin with clever variations, and is an excellent batsman. His forward defensive is legendary! Mike is another full District player pushing for a County spot who plays with the adult sides on a regular basis. He is a very quick fielder with an accurate arm who has a good cricketing brain. When Mike and Hugh bowl together the opposition regularly collapse and they have won many games for the unbeaten Colts. Took 4 wickets for 19 against Boxmoor this tear. Another regular in the adults sides, playing 2nd and 3rd XI this year.
Huw Barnett Member profile Huw Barnett
Huw is a specialist leg spinner who is the Colts record wicket taker with over 50 batsmen totally fooled by his spin and variations last year. Another of our six feet tall Colts, he gets massive turn in both directions and has a mean fast ball. He is another of our colts who represents the club at District and Sub-County with a place in the full County side on the books. An excellent fielder with a strong arm, Hugh has played for the 1st XI this year. Like all of the Colts, he is an excellent Batsman when he gets the opportunity, and has already scored a 50 this year.

Andrew  Joyce Member profile Andrew Joyce
All-Rounder
Luke O'Dair Member profile Luke O'Dair
Luke is an excellent all round cricketer who bats, bowls and fields to a very high level. He has represented the club at District and Sub-County level and plays regularly with the 2nd and 3rd XI's. He is another of our colts pushing for a 1st XI place this year. He scored his first 100 not out this year for the adult side. His fast accurate bowling troubles batsmen at all levels, and he is known for spectacular catches and direct hits. He averaged 30 with the bat last year despite having to retire at 50!

A fine fives player in the making, not a bad keeper either...great hands
Mike  Smith Member profile Mike Smith
Mike has continued to play for Berkhamsted despite moving away from the area and last season contributed a pleasant 32 away at Preston. After this, he was rarely required to bat but did get the side over the line in the rain against Old Albanians.
Sebastian Smith Member profile Sebastian Smith
Seb is another excellent all rounder who is equally happy with the bat or the ball in his hand. Another District player pushing for a County spot, Seb is an extremely fast bowler who takes wickets at all levels, as six unhappy adults found out in a recent game! Seb is easily capable of a 50 every time he bats, and is very athletic in the field, taking superb catches and with a strong arm. He is another Colt who plays regularly with the full adult sides and is a natural athlete. 4th XI Player of the year 2008 and a regular in the 3rd and 2nd XI now.
James Stedman Member profile James Stedman
James joined us at the start of the 2006 season and quickly became an integral part of the top order. At home opening the innings or at 3, his century against St Margetsbury was one the highlights of the season.


A former Bedfordshire player, James will be a key batsman in the 2008 Division One season.
