Gagan Bhogal

Aggressive top-order batsman, whose strike-rate doesn't quite match his intent. Bhogal scored his maiden Ilford CC hundred as a 19-year-old in a 200-run opening partnership with his partner in crime, Nigel Jacobs (who has somehow now managed to retire!) After breaking his wrist, he once made a fifty only two weeks after surgery, although he did regret it the next day! His superstitions include having to tap his bat inside the crease at the end of each over. Has a habit of fielding in the slips for 20 overs but this clearly has nothing to do with him being captain. His favourite batsman is Ricky Ponting.
