Getting Wick With... Saycey

The Popular Game "Where's Saycey?" Which Saycey Now Knows as "Where's Harry?"


1 Nickname(s): Saycey (standard Wick nickname of adding –y to end of surname), Stacey (think that’s just a misunderstanding of my surname), or Paul Casey [All of these nicknames were invented by Hibby - Ed]

2 Highest Score for HWRCC: 75* v Warlingham (a) in the threes marshalling us to victory

3 Best Bowling for HWRCC: 1 for something. Only took my first Wick wicket against Valley End 3rds recently having abusing my position as captain...downhill with the wind..

4 Favourite Away Ground: Bronwydd in Carmarthenshire. Simply because of the teas - off the map. The Great British Bake Off does cricket teas. Scones, strawberries, home-made cakes. You’ve never seen such competition to play a Sunday friendly.

5 Favourite Food: Can’t beat a post-match curry.

6 Favourite Singer/Band: Like everyone else I’m sure, got a lot of time for Hibby’s post match singing. The way he hits those high notes...Baritone.

7 Favourite Movie: Twin Town. Not seen it? It’s a documentary about how towns become twinned. It’s not really. Black comedy set in 1990s Swansea – my primary school features as do a lot of Swansea’s finest places. Quote-a-minute territory too, most of which aren’t printable on this fine blog.

8 Favourite Book: Catcher in the Rye.

9 Favourite Pub/Club: The Wick. The balcony view, the banter and a selection of beers. What more do you want???

10 Favourite Crisps: Not a big crisps man, but forced to pick I’d go for Sweet Chilli or Worcester Sauce.

11 Favourite DBW Sandwich: For me, sandwiches aren’t the best part of DBW’s repertoire but I’d pick Chicken Tikka. My favourite Mr Kipling of his is the Bakewell slice.

12 Favourite Quote: Ambition is critical – Dylan Thomas. Sadly, the quote is the complete opposite of my batting style.

13 Childhood Sports Hero: Roger Freestone (legendary Swansea City goalkeeper of the 90s) No seriously. Had a great song too.. Replace No with Roger and Limits with Freestone to the tune of No Limits by 2Unlimited and you’ve got it. You’re singing it now aren’t you? You should be. Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger, Roger Freestone...
14 Best Wick Moment: Winning the Fullers Div 1 in 2008 with the 2s at Shepperton

15 Worst Wick Moment: Bowled first ball of the game at Oxted & Limpsfield in the 2s in 2009. We won the game though thanks to a five-for from Shri Shinde so maybe it’s being bowled out for 69 chasing 230 in my 2nd game as 3s captain. That was against O&L too. Think I’m away for the return fixture this summer...
