This week we travel down to the smoke and ask the formidable all rounder Jordan Thelen a series of questions

So Jordan, The Cricket Season is finished, what do you do in winter ?

Jordan I’ve just moved to London to start work at EY (formerly Ernst & Young) in their Advisory practice so I’ll settling down in London and getting used to working life! I’ve already started counting down to the new season and occupy myself by following Forest and Nottingham Panthers at weekends when not turning out for EY FC!

Which 3 people would you invite to dinner (famous or not) ?

Jordan
Lethal Bizzle – DENCH
Alan Partridge, comedy value
Stephen Fry, intellectual value.

Which professional cricketer from any era do you most admire ?

Jordan - Paul Collingwood

Which away cricket ground in the Village League do you hate playing or watching at ?

Jordan - Any which doesn't have a pavilion

Obviously not including Thrumpton which away ground is your favourite ground to play or watch at ?

Jordan - Trent Bridge, I’ll be there in the summer if I’m not at the Badger Oval!

We all know that a Thrumpton tea is the best, which team has the 2nd best ?

Jordan - Not worth knowing

Everybody in their dreams remembers a great Innings or bowling feat or some other action on the field of play while playing for ot watching at Thrumpton, what is your best memory ?

Jordan - Getting a Michelle 5-fer away in a third team game (Fiskerton?)…. Oh wait, no, Sammo dropped a dolly at mid-off to deny me.
Probably will have to be Mr Squires senior last year. Diving one-handed catch at cover to win the game by 2 or 3 runs. Worldie effort

If you were stranded on a desert island what 2 items would you take you ?

Anything that can provide access to Twitter!

Next week we ask the questions to Harry Priestley. We are looking for more players and club members to answer the questions. Please reply to osprey23@hotmail.co.uk
