I'm confident Oli will step up off the bench and can do a reasonable job taking the shine off the new ball for Gimson and could even provide some desperately needed support for Ed Cassels in the best rig stakes. Credit must go to Jack Dillon for his role in recruitment in the smoking room of the Royal Mumbai Yacht Club last December." Oli commented "I'd toured with some of the CtCCCC stalwarts in the subcontinent but I think Brittorney was a really pivotal moment in seeing the standards laid down by the cannons I had heard so much about, but also experiencing first hand that not everyone was as wet as Rory.
