Jack Ritchie

1. Full Name?
Jack Wilson Ritchie

2. Date of Birth?
10/5/1989

3. Junior Club?
Collaroy Plateau/Cromer

4. How many years have you been at Manly?
This is my 8th season at Manly

5. Nickname and why?
I've had a few in my time: Guy Sebastian, Idol, Cubby.. My most recent one has been the "Mango Bear" because I absolutely love devouring a mango or three on a Saturday at cricket.

6. Highest score?
128 Vs Fairfield (3rds)

7. Best Bowling?
4-17 VS UNSW (1sts)

8. Best Cricketer you ever played with?
Tim Cruickshank for sure

9. Who is your favourite Manly Cricketer of all time?
I remember watching a few 1st grade games when I was a kid and Shaun Bradstreet was always super impressive with his will to win and never-say-die attitude. I also saw Matt Phelps score 140 one time and he batted like Bradman so I would say those two.

10. Who is your favourite current Manly Cricketer?
I love playing cricket with Nat Hill, he is such a funny guy and brings a great energy to any team he is a part of. He's great for life advice too! I've also been playing cricket with Scotty Patterson for a long time and he's always very entertaining and good for a laugh!

11. Funniest Moment on the field?
Ben King welcoming this bloke to the crease who we all hated in a second grade semi final out at Campbelltown a few years ago was gold! Any sledging makes me laugh really..

12. Obviously other than your fine self, who is the biggest hit with the ladies at the club?
It would have to be Tim Cruickshank or Justin Cox, but I actually think Luke Edgell is a bit underrated in this regard.

13. What is your most embarrassing moment on or off the field?
The year I played for Gordon is my most embarrassing moment hands down!

14. You are currently single and on the prowl. How would you go impressing the girl of your dreams?
Dinner and plenty of drinks seems to work okay

15. Along with Bomber you are one of the fittest guys in the club. Now, Bomber believes that Deeeeeep squats are the sure fire way to a great six pack, any thoughts?
I'm not going to disagree with Bomber because he knows his stuff, but any fat burning exercise is great for a six pack so I will say running.

16. You went around Europe during the off-season, which would have been a fantastic experience. What was your favourite city during your travels?
Nice was brilliant, but I can't go past Edinburgh. I played a season of cricket there a few years ago and love the place!

17. What are your goals for this season?
I want to make sure I enjoy my cricket and the company of my team mates first and foremost. I know if I train hard and keep improving the results will take care of themselves.

18. Who do you think will take out the single figure award (loosest person) this season?
I'm going to go for an outsider and say James Munting. (Sorry munter!)

19. Silicon Beach Computers are your sponsor this year, they are a fantastic local company based in Newport. How is your technical expertise? Do you know a mouse from a keyboard?
My technical expertise is absolutely terrible so im sure I will be calling on the help from the guys at Sillcon Beach Computers quite a bit this year!
