Haha, Bozzy's my friend's cousin. Went to the same school as me!! He is the reason that I know the gulf in talent between good school cricketer and county pro. He was a by far the school's star player. Scored tons a plenty with the bat and took hatfuls of wickets at what seemed like lightning pace. He ended up batting 9/10 and bowling a trundling medium pace!!! Amazing really.
He is one of two "professional" bowlers I've faced. The other being a young Tim Bresnan. Survived an over of Boswell well beyond his prime, got comprehensively bowled 2nd ball by a 15 year old Bresnan. No mean feat surviving that one ball though, I feel, given he made his first class debut less than a year later!!!
