It's not a date..

9/2. Beavers know who this number defines. Matt Billington.

"Oh nobody could stop me that day! The ball had flames coming off it, couldn't hit the ball, would of smashed the bat in half!"
Matt added "bloody Patty Guinan, my best mate since I met him, dogged me on the day and caught the other wicket! A true mate would of dropped it, oh well.."
When asked about how he's enjoyed cricket over the last few years Billington, 23, replied "it's definitely been a roller coaster ride, up and down for sure. Had the missus a while ago, cared for her more than the game I was born to play!" He adds "I betrayed that boys, and my dad Neville, he's my idol. It really brings me to tears now when I think about it!
He also believes that his brother, Leigh has dropped off in the last few years "oh yeah he's become one of those overrated cricketers, was one of the elite spinners when he was young. Matty Forsyth had taken him under his wing and had shown him the ropes when we were coming through"
Matt rated Forsyth as a great spinner "top 5 spinners I've ever seen, easy. Behind Stuart Macgill and Bryce Mcgain"
Matt can't hide his excitement for the season. He is shaking with excitement as we speak. "Getting around the boys within the next few weeks, heading the training, off the long run up! Steaming in, going for 9/1 this year! Quick shout out the fans, organised an autograph session after the first training! Beaver out ✌"
