Debut date is slightly misleading in that Rob turned up for the last game of the season and fielded on the boundary. Nothing of note to report in that match. But did well enough to be allowed to play in 2003. Started with a lucky 48 and then scores became increasingly lower.

However, did finally pluck up the courage to bowl in one game and took a wicket. That the batsman was (I think) one of those wearing a dress shouldn't tarnish that achievement. ‘Tumble’, as he will become known to his team mates, has high hopes yet realistic expectations for the season ahead.
