Biography
Player number: 83
A true opening quick - tall, fast and generally grumpy with ball in hand - Cleaves also likes to employ the long handle where possible in the middle order. In 2011 Cleaves enjoyed his finest season to date with both ball and bat, improving his career-best bowling figures three times, and producing a consistent level of performance with the bat. The highlight was a career-best innings against Uttoxeter, where he made the most of being dropped three times to make 94. Rumours that his impending marriage had added the missing ingredient to his game were hotly denied with a flying bat through a window.
