Tim Cross

Tim Cross entered the world on New Year’s Day in 2001 in the quaint English village of Alderley Edge, Cheshire, a setting that would befit the start of any classic cricketing journey. From the tender age of seven, Tim was enthralled by the gentleman’s game, spending countless hours at his local club under the watchful eye of seasoned veterans. His raw talent was honed with a sharp focus and determination; he possessed an innate ability to read the game like a seasoned pro, even during his formative years.

By the time he had reached his late teens, Tim's reputation as a promising batsman had spread beyond local hearsay. His senior debut for Cheshire in the Minor Counties Championship was a spectacle of adaptability and brilliance. Handling every bowling attack with a calm poise, Tim announced himself with a century that saw him transform from an adolescent prodigy to a player ready for bigger stages.

Tim's transition into the professional arena came in 2020 when he was selected to play for Lancashire in County Cricket. His power-packed innings against Yorkshire, Lancashire's age-old rivals, marked a significant chapter in his career. Crafting an unbeaten 140, Tim orchestrated a run-chase that not only claimed victory for Lancashire but also solidified a bitter rivalry that would leave fans on the edge in the seasons that followed.

Throughout his career, Tim's batting style has been exemplary of his adaptability at the crease, whether it’s crafting innings in a defensive mode or launching a counter-attack when his team needed quick runs. His deceivingly simple technique combined with a keen eye for detail has left many a bowler frustrated. Not to be confined by batting alone, Tim's versatile bowling has, on occasion, turned matches in his team's favour, even though his primary weapon remains his bat.

One of the most memorable moments of his career surfaced in the 2023 season, during the final of the T20 Blast. Tim belted a fiery 78 from just 42 balls, guiding his side to an unprecedented victory and etching his name into the club’s folklore. His ability to stay calm under pressure and deliver when it matters most has endeared him to fans and critics alike.

Tim Cross isn’t just a cricketer with numbers to boast, rather a craftsman of the cricketing narrative, his innings telling stories that mesmerize and inspire those who follow the wonderful game.
