Gumbo worked on his game in the early years playing corridor cricket. As a result he has developed a fearsome tweak, a keen eye for the spinning delivery, and an ability to conceal a tennis ball up his arse. The latter has proved a priceless skill through a decade of harbouring various contraband into cricket stadiums across the world. Once famed for his tediously slow run-rate, he has added a couple of shots to his game through later years. As a bowler he rarely gets a chance, harsh perhaps for a such a golden arm, but perhaps due to the embarrassment by bowling riches for which the Maladroit captain is blessed. Gumbo fields like a foreign goalkeeper, diving theatrically at backward point, while often favouring the punch over the regulation catch. A Maladroit since the beginning, Gumbo status has been rewarded with the coveted title of social sec for the 2008 season. Don't expect many events outside a 200 yrd radius of Clapham Common tube, but you can be assured of plenty of liquid refreshment and a steady stream of amusing female encounters.
