Simon Sweetman

Simon Sweetman went to the same school as John Arlott (though many years later) so qualifies as a Basingstoke Boy who watched his early cricket at May's Bounty. Being fat and useless at sport but numerate, he was roped in as a scorer early on. A slightly better player later on, his main claim to fame is having organised cricket matches wherever he worked. He is the editor of The Cricket Statistician.
