You can't go wrong with a good Aussie. Our club has learnt that now.
For a national of a side that has often been literally Proteas B, this is one very very very strange statement!

Why talk up Aussies ahead of Saffers?

Simba is a powerfully Built player who can bat from 3 to 6 . Good hands and a good player. I got to watch him play recently when he partnered a returning Tinashe Chimbambo chase down 294 in a second league fixture. He is known as a power hitter with loads of talent i can help out with Videos if needed.

Our pro this year has been nothing short of awful. A young Sri Lankan who just doesn't have any power. Has a lovely technique but doesn't have the shots or the power, and he just hasn't done it for us. Good leg spinner but he came as a batter. Had a great pedigree and played in the same side back home as LJ's pro.
Next year we're looking at signing three local cricketers instead of a pro. It's simply too risky and clubs, as mentioned, are beginning to recognise this.
That's why I can't get Diplock at the club, he no longer qualifies. If he played for the rising stars in the Franchise Cricket then maybe he would but politics seem to be keeping him out of contention
If you get three lads through the door tell me us your secret the amount of lads I speak to about coming to us but never get anywhere with is crazy. Everyone is just happy playing where they are or what major till and we ain't got any. We are having to cut back again on the O.A - it will be one paying his own flights again but this time we wont be able to even given him a little bit for coaching.

I spoke to a top Sri Lankan youngster who's doing a stint there and he says he will be very reluctant to go back. He did very well, but didn't enjoy the experience. He said the sledging was really unpleasant and he got little back up from his own team mates, who spent much of the time taking the p**s out of his accent and generally he felt unwelcome.

did the Lankan try informing them that he might be brown, but he's not a Muslim?
