Mike Burns is the new 'Hero of the Week'
Mike has enjoyed a good season with the bat and is only four runs short of his 1000 runs in a season, and after a run of four scores in the nineties will no doubt be hoping to reach three figures in one of his final innings over the next few days
A I enjoy playing golf and usually play to a handicap of nine or ten. I support Liverpool Football Club and follow the fortunes of Barrow in Rugby League.
A I didn't really have an idol but I guess that Ian Botham was a major influence on me like he was on a lot of other young players who were growing up at that time.
A That's easy, it's Eminem , I hope that is how you spell it!
A I spend my spare time with my family, entertaining Elizabeth who is five and Adam who is just two.
A I went to Walney Comprehensive , and when I left school I went to work at Vickers at Barrow in Furness for four years. I started to play cricket at Vickerstown and then moved to play for Netherfield in the Northern League, where I was playing when Dermot Reeve came to play as a pro. I scored a fifty and on the strength of that I was invited for a trial with Warwickshire. When I went down to Edgbaston I scored 80 odd in a trial game and was signed by Bob Cottam who was the coach at the time.
A I'm very fond of Indian curries and I like them hot!
A I go to the gym three or four times a week for two hours. My special exercise is all round body toning!
A That has to be the Cheltenham and Gloucester Final at Lord's in 2001.
A. Trent Bridge at Nottingham, which has a really nice comfortable feel to it despite being a Test Match ground.
A To win the county championship for Somerset and to continue to play a major part in the club's success.
