Parminder Singh (2012)
Parminder Singh
Parminder became our first ever Indian non resident Player. An absolute class left arm spinner, there really must be a flood of spinning talent in India for this guy to not get a chance on the 1st Class stage!
Parmy had the unusual distinction of playing 2 seasons for the club before becoming our 'official' non resident player.! After turning his arm over in our 3's in 2010,he worked his way up to our 2's in the first half of 2011,before his sheer weight of wickets forced his selection into the 1st XI.
In half a season, he still managed 20 Premier League wickets, and proved the one shining light in an otherwise poor season for the team.
Thankfully he decided to come back for more in 2012,and soon spearheaded the teams return the the Prem at the first attempt, reglarly bamboozling Div 2 batters.
His 45 wickets top the divisonal bowling charts, and added to his hard hitting and often under used batting made him vital to our league win
Sucker for punishment or not (?),it looks like he'll be back for a 4th stint in 2013,where I'm sure he'll prove crucial in us trying to re establish ourselves in the top flight.
Sam Baird
19 year old Sam was recommended to us by Tom Meredith. Also hailing from the WACA 1st Grade Comp, he had previously represented Derbyshire 2's in a previous stint in UK.
A solid top order bat and off spinner, it soon became apparent that like Tom, he was a pretty decent keeper, and regularly donned the mits during the 1's 2nd season in the Prem.
Despite his obvious talent, and a couple of decent contributions, Sam began to find it increasingly difficult at the top of the order, and with the team propping up the league at the halfway point, he made way for future non resident player Parminder Singh, and dropped down to our 2's
As expected, he blizted through most of the oppo's bowling, helping the 2's secure promotion from Div 3 of the County League at the 1st attempt.
Sam was a popular coach, and we're all sure that the experience gained will help him to move onto to bigger and better things in the future.
Tom Meredith (batting with Ts Middlesex man Dan Housego)
Tom was our non resident player for our 1st ever season in the Middlesex County League ECB Prem.
An opening bat from Western Australia, who plays 1st Grade in the WACA Comp, he soon proved to be one of the best and most popular OP's we've ever had.
A fantastic haul of over 800 runs at a shade under 50,showed what a class player Tom was, and added to his decent keeping, he was instrumental in keeping us in the top flight.
He was also immensely popular amongst our colts and parents also, running many of our successful coaching camps. 'Top player, top bloke' is the best way to describe Tom!
James Munting
It was a case of the prodigal son returning, as former Twickenham and Middlesex Colt James returned "Home" after 6 years. In that time he'd forged a place in Manlys 1st grade side, as a sharp opening bowler, keeping the TCC link with Shane Cleary. Jimmy proved to be a revelation on his return, being a pivotal component in the Ts promotion winning side to the Middlesex County League Premier Division. Jimmy picked up over 50 League wickets and over 400 runs, including an unbeaten league hundred. On his return to Sydney he has resumed his position spearheading Manlys attack. Everyone at TCC will be forever thankful for what Jimmy has done for the club, as he proved a model cricketer on and off the field. We hope to see him back at his spiritual home soon.
Grant Hughes
Grant came to the Ts from Queensland Grade club Sandgate-Redcliffe, where he regularly dominated the 1st grade middle order. In fact he was the 6th highest run scorer in grade cricket in 2007.He was used as a hard hitting opener by the Ts, and got off to a blistering start hitting an incredible 176 on his league debut away at Richmond. Although he struggled for form in the latter part of the season, he was still comfortably the team's highest run scorer, and also chipped in with valuable wickets with his under used leg spin.On leaving England, work took Grant to USA, where he is currently progressing his career as a micro biologist. Unfortunately there isn't much cricket!.
Peter Carey
Pete enjoyed a fruitful season with the T's in 2007. Pete is an opening bat from Canterbury, New Zealand. Pete, a former New Zealand U19 International and current Canterbury Wizards squad member scored over 1000 runs for the T's. Pete scored 555 league runs at an average of 43 and really set the foundation for many of T's wins in their promotion year. Pete topped the run scoring chart for the division in 2007. A fine player on and off the field Pete will always be welcome at TCC.
Shane Cleary
Shane came to the T's in the summer of 2006 and was a great success. Shane, a fast bowler from Manly in Sydney, Australia announced himself to the Middlesex Championship with a devastating 8 wicket haul against Old Actonians in week 1. Shane had previously played for NSW U19 and also Sydney Grade rep sides. Shane also contributed in the T's top order with valuable runs. Since returning to Sydney Shane has forced himself into the number 7 spot as well as taking the new ball for his first grade side. See Shane's profile on the Manly website - HERE Both Shane and his partner Bree are fine young people always welcome back at the T's anytime.
Kirk Anton Edwards
Kirk is arguably the finest overseas player the T's have had and a real contender for the best bat ever to play for the T's. Kirk, now 20 was the vice captain of the West Indies U19 World Cup squad that reached the final in Bangladesh in 2004. His stats speak volumes of Kirk's talent. Kirk has gone on to captain Barbados and play for the West Indies in all forms of the game.
Brayden Teece
Brayden was a model overseas player for the T's. A great club man with great ability. Brayden came to the T's as a highly rated leg spinner from Wynnum Manly in Queensland. A Queensland Junior representative player Brayden was taking many first grade wickets in the XXXX Brisbane grade competition. Although he struggled with his leg spin in the UK due to the unresponsive pitches and the aggressive batting of sides in the league. However he added some class runs to the T's. His stats can be seen on the averages page. Brayden was a vital part of the side's excellent season ending up in the IBEX Middlesex cup final.Since returning to Australia, Brayden moved to Tasmania, to complete his university studies and make a charge for higher honours in the game.
Ben W Dennett
The "Hambone" arrived in 2003 and was an instant success with the bar takings. Ben came to the T's as a highly rated quick bowler from the ACT Comets in Canberra. He had previously been to the fast bowling academy in Queensland and was 12th man for the Prime Minister's X1 against England.Since returning to Australia, Ben has moved to Richmond cricket club in Melbourne, and is currently opening the bowling in their first grade side.
Antonio Kenneth Mullins
33 wickets at an average of 22.09 is all we can say about Mr Mullins. Antonio was a late replacement for Mario Oliver, from Western Province. After Mario broke his ankle a week before he was due to arrive, Western Province recommended this fast bowling replacement. Antonio had allot of potential but a poor attitude. Cricinfo details of Antonio Mullins HERE.
Renato Almeida
"Rats" arrived in the UK in July 2001. Gauteng squad player Almeida had some real wheels and on debut had the Acton opening bat come out with probably the best line heard for some time on the The Green, after Renato had tickled his ribs with a spell of real hostility, Basterfield from Acton turned to the T's keeper and declared " I want my mummy". Renato finished at the T's with 31 wickets with an at an average of 14. His best return for the T's was 7-80.Renato went on to reap an impressive haul of wickets in the second half of the season, that saw the T's climb the Championship table and earn him a place in the Surrey Championship X1 against Lashings. Renato opened the bowling and although he took some stick from Stuart Williams, he dislodged Jimmy Adams, caught second slip.Renato is now playing provincial cricket for Easterns in South Africa.

Bruce Koch
Bruce arrived arrived in the UK as a friend of paceman Justin Scriven, and together they terrorised top orders throughout the league. A fine opening bowler, Bruce was also an elegant bat who scored many runs for the T's. Bruce decided to stay around the area and moved to Ireland through residency and went on to play for Cork County and Cork Harlequins as well as representative cricket for the south of Ireland.
