As a young left-arm spinner he took stacks of cheap wickets in the Logan Cup around 2000, but with Ray Price already in the side he never got a look in and never played another FC match after 2001, although he had a brief return in the Faithwear one-dayers in 2006. I always wondered what had happened to him, whether he went abroad, got injured, or simply needed to earn a living outside cricket.

He was from Bulwayo, which probably didn't help him either.


He still lives in Bulawayo according to Facebook.
