Most memorable game for PAOCCC: LOC Semi final vs Gaza with a come from behind win
Funniest memory from the PAOCCC: so many to choose from, all those classic calls from the slips, Benny Allen meeting and naming 'Extreme' Dave Larkins, Cossie thinking he can bowl a leg break, show us your wrong'un!
Most admired player at PAOCCC (past / present): Lex, Rosey Holness, Willsy 'the Ox', all my junior grade coaches. I hold them all personally responsible for the cricketer I am today, I may not admire them but they did teach me what not to do.
Favourite social event: Gentleman's Evenings
Most embarrassing cricket moment: I am proud of everything I've ever done on a cricket field, but getting out on 49 in yr 10 and getting sent to Pete Williams for on field indiscretions after my first PAC game in yr 8 were slightly embarrassing.
Favourite aspect of cricket: Hitting fours and sixes and taking great diving catches in front of first slip
Which song would you like to walk out to bat to: Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi, Holy Grail by Hunters and Collectors
Do you have any cricket superstitions: Same jocks and socks, washed of course, I had a lucky charm I'd wear but I played worse with it so I stopped wearing it.

Bono from U2, I love his music and he is inspirational in everything he does, Ben Elton, so funny yet so intelligently cynical and Michael Moore, because it would be interesting to chat have a conversation with him about how he sees the world.
