Name: Robert Douglas Boal

Age: 20

Weight: Over

Drinking Weight: Not been spotted drinking since pouring a pint down the toilet in The Clock

Nicknames: Zippy, Jimmy Krankie, Ginge, Babby Tonk, Scholesy, Boaly, Rupert

Role in side: Secondary distributor of leg-side quiches and flans, dull batsman, slow runner, specialist conifer-corner fielder

Maximum length of time spent away from missus in last five years: 14 minutes

Total length of time spent socialising after the game with team-mates this season alone: 17.31 minutes

Reason given: going out with friends, parties

Real reason: on duty

Highest score: 77 down the school field when I was 12. it was my bat and stumps and despite being caught 16 times and run out twice, I carried on regardless - it’s hardly my fault if the umpires can’t spot no-balls.

You were on Rainbow for years, what’s Bungle really like: I didn’t care much for him. I much preferred Rod, Jane and Freddy. I still listen to their music now.
