Profile:

Ed is a naturally sedentary and recumbent player whose determination to sweep away such vegetation is evident in his Super 4s play. His deceptively slow floaters are known for both their inconsistency and uncanny wicket-taking ability - Ed is the only Super 4s player to ever have taken a hat-trick. In terms of batting, "Bevs" often suffers from a lack of mobility and flexibility at the crease combined with an inability to effectively control his own corpulence. The 'Squires Fire' is unstoppable when the lunch break is called and if he learns to attack the ball as in the same way he does the dripping lard and greasy grit of pizzas, his performance at the crease would improve to no end. Ed loves TOOL and is the founding father of the notorious and riotous Bones Boys.
