Name: James Ramsay (AKA: "Jimmy")

Cricket: RH Bat; RA Fast; Wicket Keeper

Debut: 1998

Jimmy first became involved with the club in 1998, both he and younger brother John around whenever their dad played, they enthusiastically took any opportunity to play even if it meant turning out for the opposition.

Whilst John has developed into an all-rounder, Jimmy was always a batsman first; indeed he has an awkward bowling action although that didn’t stop him picking up a few wickets in 2005.

His fielding has always been an asset, winning the trophy as early as 1999, and he’s also had a go at keeping, not unsuccessfully, with a couple of stumpings to his name.

With an energetic and happy go lucky character, he always showed the biggest potential as a batsman, but James has never been able to fully control the desire to spank every ball out of the ground and often his innings finished disappointingly early.

Frustrated with inability to make the breakthrough and with weekend work commitments, Jimmy has drifted away from the club in recent seasons although he did tour with us in both 2006 and 2008.
