Which singer/band would you like to see perform live: Luke combs
Who is the king of selfies at your club: Not many of the wests boys do selfies unless they’ve had a few beers they love a rowdy group photo though
Funniest team mate? Anthony Atkinson hands down, can tell a good story and has the most random things happen to him, absolute legend and great bloke to have in the team for moral
Most annoying team mate: I’ll change this to the grumpiest team mate if that’s okay, Pat Collins, one of my best mates and one of the most passionate blokes I’ve played with, but gee he’s a grumpy skipper, loves a tea pot haha
If you won the lottery, what would you buy first: A nice house on the Sunshine Coast overlooking the water
Favourite city in the world to visit: Really enjoyed london when i went to England, but nothing beats home in Brisbane
Childhood hero: Ricky Ponting, absolute genius with the bat and someone I loved watching on tv growing up
Who is the fastest bowler you’ve played against? A couple, Pat Cummins, James Pattinson
Who is the best spinner you’ve played against? Nathan Lyon
Who are the next two batsman to make their debut for the Queensland Bulls in Shield cricket?
After being in Tassie now for 12 months i can only go off the handful of games I played early in the season for Wests but probably Jack Clayton from University, scores a mountain of club runs which is how it should be to get selected and Matt Willans from University, tall left armer and can swing it!
Who are the two opponents in Queensland Cricket you admire most in terms of skills and competitive spirit?
Andrew Gode from Valley - has dominated club cricket with both bat and ball for a long time and is always at you, Michael Phillipson (Uni) in my opinion he’s a gun and in my early seasons in first grade he gave me a hard time, but really enjoyed the battles and we actually get along really well now. Genius with bat and his little round the wicket leg stump offies.
Most memorable moment in cricket? I’ve got 2 - Winning the 2 day Comp with Wests in the last hour on the final day and I made my first class debut that same season and got a hundred in the final, so 3!
What’s the best win you’ve been involved with? 2 day grand final win against uni! They were full of state players and they’d beaten us on a number of occasions in big games in previous seasons
Your most treasured possession: Baggy maroon
Favourite food: Hot chips or Japanese
Favourite TV show: Stranger Things series
