Profile of Darryn Kidd

Kidda, the Ones Skippa..... And one word only is necessary.... "Lager". One phrase... "Dumb arsed f**ks" (which neatly stands for DAFS... we never thought of it at the time when Kidda used to bellow it at us after a dropped catch or miserable bit of batting). Many highpoints of the 2001 Derby Tour were supplied by Dazza, too many to mention perhaps here (read the Derby Report 2001) the most enduring perhaps was the sight of Dazza, with the arse hanging out of his jeans, drinking his four-pack of lager at 11am on a Sunday, slumped outside the front-door of a supermarket while the gentle folk of Derby inched gingerly past him. There is a heart of gold beneath the gruff and grumpy exterior. There is also a highly destructive batsman lurking somewhere. This season has confirmed himself as a dangerous front-line bowler (sometimes). Perhaps erstwhile DAFS player "Beefy" Kettles had a premonition when he always implored the poor bowler with "Line and length, Kidda" ! . Anyway a pint of Tennants or two are due for the organisational effort he puts in and the efficient manner in which he regularly strips Tom's Team of bowlers..
