Sabres Juniors: Round 9 Top Performers Top 5 Batting Age/Div Runs Jacob Humphrey U14/1 53* Louis Rothfield U15-16 41 Angus McTaggart U15-16 38* William Connors U14/3 Red 38 Samuel Lees U14/3 Blue 35 Top 5 Bowling Age/Div Wkts Matthew Farthing U11 Green 5/10 Cooper Southam U14/1 4/2 Greg Hayes U17-18 3/4 Blake Zajac U16/3 3/8 Kate McTaggart U11 Green 3/13 Newcastle City Cricket Club Player Profile Name: Matt Krevs Age: TBC 1. How long have you been at city? This is my 13th season. I think! 2. Favourite Cricketer? As much as I can't stand the guy as a person, as a cricketer Shane Warne was always my favourite guy to watch. Of non-Aussie cricketers, Kumar Sangakkara was something else with the bat and Waqar Younis was deadly with the ball for a few years. 3. Favourite food? Tough to pick. A tie between Japanese and French. Frapanese! 4. Favourite band or musician? Crowded House. For stuff that is vaguely current: Foo Fighters and Josh Pyke 5. If you could attend any sporting event in the world, what would it be? Boxing Day Test 6. Best Bowling / Highest Score? Hard to remember for bowling figures: 3-50 odd at Learmonth in 3s back when I had hair (the skipper of 4s hardly ever gives me a bowl). 143* in 4s vs Belmont a few seasons ago. 7. Who is the funniest teammate? Troy Arnold. Has a heap of funny stories. 8. Ideal Holiday Destination? Austrian Alps or anywhere in Japan 9. What is your nick name? Krevsy, Krevor, Crabsy, Crevice. So proud. 10. What would you spend your last $50 on? I'd spend $45 on good company and wine, then I'd just waste the rest.
