Player Profile  -  Adam Drinkwell

Nickname:   Drinkas, Drinka, Devil

Best batting:   130 (117 for MOCCC)
Best bowling:   6/25 (4/36 for MOCCC)
Favourite fielding position:   Mid off
Pre-match routine:   Read paper whilst eating 3 Weet-Bix, hassle mum for my 3 sets of whites, make sure I have Powerade x 2 then get to match ASAP, listen to Lose Yourself by Eminem
After-match routine:   Continue to think about another bad shot that got me out, listen to a lecture from Dad then hit the piss or look for some love from the girlfriend
Favourite tea-break indulgence:   Banana Cake from Sarah Lee
Most under-rated player at MOCCC:    Derrin Gartner – tidy bowler, best fieldsman at the club (behind Sticksey), and a devastating pull shot when hit – just ask Cam Carey from Ashburton – "Wow!"
Loves batting with:   Dean Wedding, and I'm sure the crowd love it too - plenty of shots when this happens
Would never lend your box to:   Rodney Beayni (he must be popular with this question surely!)
Unusual items in your kit:   A rock which is very sentimental, plenty of tape and creams, Tommy-T, although after the stick I got last season it only makes a rare appearance

Favourite poster on bedroom wall:    2000 Essendon Premiership Poster (signed and framed)
Dream guests at dinner:   Homer Simpson, Craig McDermott, John Howard, Britney Spears, Richie Benaud, Bec Cartwright
Funniest thing seen on a cricket field:   During the 9A cricket days we decided as a team that if the number 11 batsman hit a catch then we would drop it as we didn’t want the retired batsman to come back in. Unfortunately when it happened, not only was the catch deliberately dropped but there was 4 overthrows conceded when trying to run the batsman out. We lost narrowly and I can assure you that Brocky was not a happy man!! Dave Campbell Wrestlemania a close second.
Ambitions for 2003-04:   If we don’t go back to Dunstan Shield then it's been a failure
