NEV MARAVALA

Mild-mannered Bank Manager appearance belies his occasional entertaining Kevin The Teenager tantrum. His off spinners rely on his experience and guile and one to watch if there is a long boundary on tour.

 

Nickname:                                               Neville. Kevin The Teenager

Career highlight:                                     Many. Remember I used to be good once (implying he isn’t now?)

Best performance:                                   Every time I bat in the top 3

Worst performance:                                  Every time I have to bat in 9,10, Jack

Tour expectations:                                   Just hoping to avoid rooming with Tango

Batting style:                                           Solid at number 9 or as opener – bats at same pace

Bowling style:                                         Plenty of flighted off spin. Likes to give it a chance to turn. Or disappear into the next field

Cricketing heroes:                                   Any spin bowler

Annoyance:                                            People spelling my name wrong since I joined CCC (Maravella, Marvelo etc)

Occupation:                                            Shelf stacker for John Lewis

Likes:                                                      Getting a proper bowl, not late on when it doesn’t matter

Dislikes:                                                   Being ignored as a bowler

Hobbies:                                                  Driving in my TT

Often mistaken for:                                  Austin Powers, yeah baby

Superstitions:                                          Likes to come on first  change

Hairstyle:                                                 Nearly, but not quite, resembling a comb-over

Body shape:                                            Surprisingly thin for a middle-aged man

Fielding position:                                    Specialist legside fielder

Shots in locker:                                       The block. The push for one.

Opinions on cricket:                                Get the spinners on! I used to be good once!
