Story The lives of two budding stars

[Dr. Pepper]

Me, Myself and I​

I'm Maninder Heer. That's right, you heard it first here. Maninder Heer. A peppy 18 year old living in Hedge End, it's just North-East of Southampton. For those of you who don't know that's in Hampshire, the south of Hampshire. So I love cricket. I love it so much I play for the Hampshire 2nd XI. I'm hoping to break into the senior team this season and get a few games under my belt. I'm a Right arm leg spinning all rounder. Right arm batsman too. I can turn it a mile and hit it for six!

I'm not your normal person. I'm a "strange" hyper active guy. I don't know what's so strange about me, I just do anything I want whenever I want, but don't worry I'm not some trouble maker. I just wear my Pyjamas when I go out on a Saturday night. Why not? They're comfortable and I want to. It doesn't bother me what people think of me. I'm not anti-social or anything but most people think I'm weird, not that I give a damn anyway.

Now back to my cricketing. I'm quite an aggressive batsman to be honest. I like to go out there and play the bowler around the park. I'm not an all out slogger though. I pick my shots wisely and all, I just play it through the gaps. I'm a tactical player. It's not just smashing it with all your power and hoping it will go over the ropes.

Onto my bowling now. I'm a better bowler than batsman I reckon. I spin the ball quite a lot. I pitch it quite full and get a lot of height on it, keep the batsman guessing til the last minute. I vary my deliveries though. I have a pretty nifty googly. My best mate also plays for Hampshire. He's a left arm chinamen all rounder. He's a right arm batsman though. His name is...

I'm guessing it's Simbazz

I'm guessing it's Simbazz

Considering he supports Hampshire and came to this thread straight away, I think that's a good guess.

Good opening post, Mani.

Why the hell would you think that?

Why the hell would you think that?

Because Jaz answered it for me

Pffft what does Jaz know? He eats his dinner at half five!

Pffft what does Jaz know? He eats his dinner at half five!

Half six at the earliest. Case closed, you lied.

Anyway, good luck with this.

Who are you guys, detectives!?!

Ok, you guys guessed it, I suppose it wasn't hard. A left arm leggie in England is fair rare, and even rarer on these forums!

Anyways, you know about me don't you? I've posted in these parts before, hell, i even had a career in the USA a year ago. Well that was a dream, and now i'm back down to earth. I'll give you guys a quick run down about me.

I was born in Lancashire at the age of 0, obviously. And i grew up there for the whole of 1 years. Moved to California, cricket was unheard of until i returned to England. One day, whilst driving down to London with the Grandfather, he stopped at this circular building, he called Hampshire's cricket ground, interesting i thought. He asked me "You play baseball back home?" and i said, "Yeh, course." and he led me through, and there infront of me was a game taking place. My interest went from there.

Since then i've played, i was a SLA bowler up to about 15, but i decided to learn how to leg spin! And i did! And now i play in the second Xi for Hants as well as Mani.

They call us the Spin-twins, and we've created opportunities just due to the fact that we both leg spin, but i turn it the other way at differnt angles.

Anyways, enough about me, lets get talking about the cricket!
