Ian Biddle is captain of the Sunday Second XI, and is infamous for his 'stories' and the ability to say the most ludicrous things known to man. His bowling is something of a spectacle, something everyone should witness once, and his batting bordering on frenetic. With most junior players entering the ARPCC scene in his team it's something of a rite of passage to deal with the lunacy that goes with it and somewhat of a surprise so many youngsters stay in the club!
