It must interest all his colleagues to know where John, popularly known as Vegas, bought his bat for there is no sweeter sound in any cricket field when he hits the ball when he is on form.
Even a defensive prod like the one illustrated in the photograph finds its way to the boundary.
He has regularly come up with half-centuries this term and we are keenly awaiting his next full one.
Maybe if he has a fault it his is lack of mobility in the field perhaps displaying a lack of enthusiasm. He has been known to drop the odd catch.
He is a builder by trade and a sample of his work is the attractive patio and low stone wall at the front of the pavilion.
