Profile of Lindsay Towns

Lindsay TLindsay T by all accounts has got about a bit. Zimbabwe born, lived in Australia, even lived down my way so knows the South Central LA style ghetto that is Rustington, West Sussex. Them drugs-running old biddies are vicious you know. Anyway, Lindsay (who obviously thought Bill was far too girly a first name) is one of our hardest-hitting exponents of the batting art... currently topping the Ones averages by a proverbial. On his day can take any attack apart. Legend from deep in the jungle has it that he can bowl... though I suspect that like me, he ranks in the "buy a wicket" category in the thoughts of Kidda, his African near-neighbour. Seems to have never quite grown out of being in the Scouts if the habitual wearing of shorts in all weather are anything to go by. Has official bean-counting responsibilities as Club Auditor though what depreciation policy he applied to the hoard of gear (once) stashed by the Treasurer is your guess. (sickie)
