About Joe Barnes

Full-time Student 23 years old I’m very much a child of the 2005 Ashes and a big Somerset CCC fan. My heroes include Marcus Trescothick, Kumar Sangakkara and Brendon McCullum. Usually spend my Saturdays in the summer trying to bowl like Kagiso Rabada and bat like Jos Buttler with limited success. I’m passionate about all forms of cricket and love a good chat about stats. Very proud to represent my university’s cricket team and be actively involved in its running.
