Whitehall Cricket Club
Robert Finch
Robert Finch                Bob                Finchy                Half Inch                Tony Grieg.                Born TBC.
Bob joined Whitehall in the late 1990's and
marked his debut in the 2nd XI with a half century
away at Castlehill at their old ground in Middleton.

While batting Bob resembles a young Tony Greig
with his stance and blond locks. His batting style
is very aggressive but its all in timing rather than
hefty blows. His one fifty for the 1st XI game in the
2000 against Pudsey Congs.

3 years late Bob took joint captaincy of the newly
created second team alongside Pete Smith. And
it was Bob who lead the side to their only victory
that season.

Since that time Bob has been in and out of the
side for numerous reasons.

Arguably Whitehall's finest slip fielding (although I
am quite sure Dock will dispute this fact), he's
taken some wonder catches, and vital times in
games.
