Chris Rich profile

  • Chris "RICO" Rich
  • There have been many celebrated sporting siblings over the years. Tennis: Venus & Serena Williams. Boxing:  the  Klitschko brothers - Wladimir and Vitali. Motor racing: Michael & Ralph Schumacher. Football: The Neville family - Gary and Phil .  What is the best that Burnham Sports can offer? Some would say the Ahmeds; others would put forward the Whittakers. And don't forget the Wades, Meltons, Leeches. But I scoff at all those suggestions and give you the Rich boys - Chris & Tim. The stats are probably not in their favour but, for pure comic value and sense of fun, they are surely untouchable. Tim probably hasn't represented the club for the best part of 20 years but those who played in his company will never forget him. Ridiculously high back lift (they were all the rage for a time) and a running style that hinted he'd deposited something rather smelly in his pants. Rarely made double figures and, if he did, it was courtesy of chinese cuts and thick edges. In the field? The inspiration behind Mr Bean.  Chris, meanwhile, would wear a brightly coloured tie around his midriff to hold up his trousers. Why it had to be brightly coloured always perplexed me but, in order to draw people's attenton from this, he'd also wear a ridiculous straw hat. Truly, there was never a dull moment. Like a fine wine, it is possible that Chris is improving with age. He's discarded the tie and hat these days and has developed a smooth bowling style. Skips in like a ballet dancer - barely touching the surface. And he's definitely batting with more freedom these days; at least it looked that way on the beach at Frinton. If all matches were played with a tennis ball, he'd be first on your list.
