Saturday 17th July 2010. John Wills has now brought up 200 wickets for Sway with his 9th wicket in just 2 weeks in a 4-wicket haul against Mudeford III. The wily and experienced operator has now taken 201 wickets at an average of just 16.42 and an economy rate of 3.79 and his appetite for wickets is matched only by his appetite for his favourite cheeseburgers! Willsy made his Sway debut for the 2nd XI in 2004 in a crushing defeat against Bransgore. He bowled 3 overs for 12 runs - a comparatively good return compared with Steve How (5-30), Dave Hurrell (3-29), A Newman (2-22), Jack Walton (10-54), Ron Tranter (9-55) and Mark Wright (2-19)!!! Big John was also a key member of Dave Marshall's promotion winning 1st XI of 2007, taking 25 wickets in 12 games at an average of just 9.68 - significantly better than Grash. Willsy now looks set to be in a promotion winning side again in 2010 for the second XI and looks on course for a PB wickets tally. No slouch with the bat either, Willsy has also racked up 1,069 runs ensuring membership of the exclusive club of players who have taken 200 wickets and scored 1,000 runs for Sway (Grasham, Osborne and Walton) Despite regularly speaking of retirement, Willsy looks set to be around for a few years to come...
