About Village Cricket Co.
Freddie Chatt
Keeper-Batsman
Freddie has been playing cricket since the age of 11. He’s never been much of a bowler but became a wicketkeeper by default after filling in one day and diving all over the place. Fairly quick between the wickets (often to the dismay of his teammates).
Best Batting: 179 (only dropped 8 times)
Best Bowling: Thinks he got a wicket once
Other Cricketing Facts
- Can play a cover drive no matter where the ball has pitched
- Has hit a four between his legs (TWICE – in one game)
- Has had the most ducks out of anyone at GBCC in the last 12 years
George Simmons
Fast Bowler
George has played cricket since he was 7 (helping out his brother’s U11 team). A classic pace bowler who loves the occasional (or regular) short one to spice things up. Can bat almost anywhere depending on the situation. Mainly turns up for the banter & post-game beer.
Best Batting: 94
Best Bowling: 6-43
Other Cricketing Facts
- Reached 288 club wickets by the age of 20
- Played a season in Australia as an overseas cricketer for Jindivick CC
- Sky Sports Young Coach of the Year award winner
Giving Back
We both owe a lot to cricket and our cricket club (Great Baddow CC), from lifelong friendships to the best of memories, we wouldn’t change a thing.
Because of this, we felt it only right with Village Cricket Co, to take the opportunity to start giving back.
So for every bat sale, we will be giving 5% of sales split between our local cricket club, Great Baddow CC as well as the Lord Taverners, to give young people a sporting chance.
