Ben has been a stalwart of the Centaurs of over 10 seasons having first played for the Centaurs in the 2000-2001 season. Ben has been a consistent performer with both bat and ball and also in the field. As a batsman, Ben is solid in the middle order and like Paul Collingwood he can can nudge the ball around of turn it up when needed. Ben is more than happy to bowl when needed and is a tight economical bowler in the middle overs. With the newer ball, he can swing the ball both ways and mixes it up with a good slower ball. In the field, Ben is a permanent fixture in the gully and backward point region. Dicko as he is known among the team, took over the Centaurs captaincy this season from long-time captain Keith Hemshall but has had a premature end to his season due to a shoulder injury. We look forward to have him back leading the mighty Taurs for 2011-12. Ben is the brother-in-law of William Arblaster. Ben and his wife Sarah (Centaurs Scorer) recently welcomed daughter Emily to the world.
