He was far from the best mate. Infact he was probably more eratik than Blignaut from 2001-04. He had some pace though, that was undeniable. I saw him clock up to 88mph in Australia in 2003/04. It'd be great if he did come back and play for a franchise, though I doupt it.

Travis Friend was a good player on his day - but he was too unpredictable. He could bowl some pretty fast thunderbolts, similar to Gus Mackay.
