Full Name? Ben Martin Date Of Birth? 10/8/1988 Junior Club? Kings Langley Nickname/s and why Marto obviously from the last name or Jules, when my hair was blonde I apparently looked like Jules Lund from getaway. Highest score. Against who? 38 vs UNSW last season Best Bowling. Against who? 5/19 Manly season 09/10 This year is your first at the club. What are you looking forward to most about the up coming season at manly? Getting out on my own two feet and starting from scratch. And playing at Manly Oval, it has a great atmosphere, look forward to being a part of it. Most embarrassing moment on/off the field? T20 semi against Wests last year, going out to bat and the announcer introduced me to the crease, my Mrs then cheered me on very loudly in a quiet crowd, and needless to say I was out for a 3rd ball duck.
Best cricketer you have ever played with? Only having 4 season at grade cricket I would have to say Michael Wood from Parramatta, I don’t think there is anything on the cricket field he can’t do.
Sydney Tile and Stone Care are sponsoring you this season. They provide quality stone, tile and paving sealing, polishing, care, and cleaning. Have you received any tips from the guys from Sydney tile and stone care about CLEANING and POLISHING yourself up for a weekend circuit and then potentially SEALING the deal with a lovely lady? Well my old man runs the business, and I don’t think he ever really gave me advice on that, just a few glasses of Dutch courage and give it your best.
Who is your favourite manly cricket player? Can’t really pick one to be honest, all top blokes.
There are many rare units running around in the grades at the manly cricket club, leading the way are Luke Edgell & Sam Alexander. Can we see Ben Martin challenging the crown for rarest unit in the club? I must say Sammy Alexander is going to be tough to beat on this but I’m always up for a challenge.
If you could trade places with one person at manly, who would it be? Probably Jimmy Munting cause he lives so close to Manly oval!
Which manly cricketer will you like playing alongside most? I think its going to be good to play alongside all the boys but I’m looking forward to working with Bossy and Jimmy Munting.
You have a hefty drive on the M2 to training and home games this season, Shows a lot of commitment. How do you think you will cope with the travel? Do you think it provides extra motivation for yourself? The way I see it is I’m travelling to do something I love doing, no different driving to Sutherland for an away game, but the trip for a home game does give me extra motivation even just at training, no point travelling that distance for nothing. So it really does make me hungry for the results.
What are your goals for cricket this year? Plenty of poles, play finals cricket and maybe a game or two of 2ndXI would be great.
Funniest moment on/off the field? Let’s just say I had 4 season of cricket with Daniel Jackson.
How would you go about impressing the girl of your dreams? Make sure they think I live on the northern beaches, and tell them I work out with Matty Mee.
Who do you think will take out the Single Figure Award (loosest person) this season? I don’t quite know all the boys yet so its tough to say but if we can go on anything I think we might see sam alexander take this out but there will be a challenger or two without doubt.
