In 2015 Simon Gundry enjoyed the greatest moment of his life. Father of two
Gundry managed to join the elite club that is Superstars who have 100 caps, 1000 runs, 50 wickets and 50 fielding dismissals
to their name - a prouder moment is surely impossible. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Having made his debut in 1999 he took until only 2003 to score 1000 runs and
take 50 wickets. The 100 caps notch was reached in 2006 but it took until 2015 until he reached 50 fielding dismissal (suggesting
a bit of "butter fingers" for the Sultan of Swing. He now joins Ken Block, Mike Taylor, Tony Whitrod, Steve Meyler (yes, really!)
and Matt Conway. |

Fellow members of the elite group were quick to congratulate the popular opening
bowler with legend Mike Taylor leading the tributes. |

"It's great to welcome Simon to this elite club. I'll teach him the secret handshake and the codes to the nuclear weapons
when I next see him. Other benefits to the club include handy tips on average protection and a free halo shining service."

"Simon is both a great friend and a great player and I'm delighted he's finally joined us here
in the heady heights of superior Superstars players. We mainly discuss how to ensure we only bowl
at rabbits."

"This club is really going downhill if people like him are allowed in. Shocking. Surely there's been some sort of admin error here.
Well i'm not sharing my club free gifts of illegal drugs, fast cars and dancing girls with him."
