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 was always my favourite guy to watch. Of non-Aussie cricketers, Kumar Sangakkara was something else with the bat and 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.

Sabres Christmas Party at The Bennett

A great night was had by all with the theme of Santa tops and board shorts for the City 2017 Bennett Xmas Party. The memo must have lost some translation for a couple of the guys with Mitch “Snezzy” Nesbitt arriving as a Xmas tree with speedos and Liam “The Suit” Case getting it slightly confused with the reverse Surf shirt with Santa pants.
