Name: Sam Asielue
Role: All rounder
Nickname: Sammy Sparkle
Hero:
Football Team:
Favourite Band/Singer: P Square
Trivia: There are few more compelling sights in cricket than Sammy Sparkle on fire at the crease; a combination of elegance and brutality reminiscent of an African dictator. His metronomic left-arm swing and cut has mesmerised many a batsman across the land, and his exuberant fielding is reminiscent of a ballerina on speed. Another key member of the after-four inner caucus, Sam likes nothing better than a big stout and some Fela to unwind after a match-winning performance… |

Hero:
Football Team:
Favourite Band/Singer:
Trivia: They say that trouble comes in threes, and that is certainly the case with the Marioghae boys. Kapoor is the third leg of the triumvirate, and with his double-windmill bowling action and his animated batting style, he has been another perennial favourite in LNCC colours. Like his brothers, his appearances these days are by appointment only, but are all the more enjoyable for that… |

Trivia: The other half of the “Heartbeat” duo, Scott is another of the reasons why Edo state is firmly inked in on all good cricketing maps. Although his LNCC appearances have so far been sporadic, he has done enough to make his old tutors back at the Igueben Academy proud… |

Name: Segun Bucknor
Role: Batsman
Nickname: Oko iya alamala
Hero:
Football Team:
Favourite Band/Singer:
Trivia: Once the original pin-up boy of London Nigerian Cricket, Segun is possibly the only batsman to have been dismissed “Retired – late for photo-shoot”. Although time has mellowed him off the pitch, when at the wicket he remains as vibrant as ever; for Segun a defensive shot is one that bounces before is gets to the boundary, and his unorthodox shot selection leaves bowlers utterly bewildered as he defies batting orthodoxy. One word of advice, if the bowler decides to try the slower ball and you are in the crowd, duck… |

Name: Seun Odeku
Role: Overseas member
Nickname: Sunshine
Hero:
Football Team: Man United
Favourite Band/Singer:
Trivia: With his wiry frame and classical action, “Sunshine” is quite capable of propelling deliveries at your ribs in excess of 130kph. Placed alongside his compact batting and athletic fielding, it is easy to see why Seun is a regular in the current National side. Although currently only a visiting member of the LNCC, the time may come when Seun is one of our stalwarts… |

Favourite Band/Singer: Shank
Trivia: As one of the younger members of the club, Solo’s primary role is to inject a modicum of much-needed street cred into the LNCC line-up. From his gangsta hairstyles to his extravagant footwear, he is every inch the MTV Base superstar in the making. Oh, and apparently he plays a bit of cricket too… |
