20 Questions: Cameron Borgas

November 13, 2015

  1: You came into the South Australian side in the 2000-01 summer, aged just 17, having come through all the age-group levels. Coming through all those development sides, how had they prepared you for the step up to professional cricket, and what was the junior infrastructure like in South Australia at the time?

Bruce Edgar: Wellington coach

October 14, 2015

Recently, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Wellington’s new coach, Bruce Edgar at the Wellington Firebirds’ training set-up at Westpac Stadium. Most of what we discussed will be coming shortly, in a feature piece discussing his career – from his playing days as a stoic opening bat, to coaching, being New Zealand selector, … More Bruce Edgar: Wellington coach

Six Ball Over: Kristen Beams

June 29, 2015

Leg spin is the most difficult art to master. As a very rubbish leg-spinner myself, I understand that perfectly well. Women’s cricket is a perfect example of just how hard it is – aside from Dane van Niekerk leading the South African attack, and Amelia Kerr making waves as a 14 year old for Wellington, … More Six Ball Over: Kristen Beams

Nine Ball Over: Stiaan van Zyl

May 11, 2015

In my first ‘Six Ball Over’ in over six months, Stiaan van Zyl has been kind enough to talk to us about his cricketing career to date. In fact, we even bowled a couple of wides, so we’ve got a nine ball over! Van Zyl made his Test debut in the series against the West … More Nine Ball Over: Stiaan van Zyl

Six Ball Over: Jeremy Snape

November 6, 2014

Originally published on DV Mace’s Smorgasbord of Sport, 06-Nov-2014. Jeremy Snape is the world’s most eminent cricket psychologist – and one of the most notable sports psychologists in any field. While it’s the players and coach who are the most likely to receive kudos for team performance, a lot more goes on behind the scenes … More Six Ball Over: Jeremy Snape

Six Ball Over: Michael Rippon

November 3, 2014

  Originally published on DV Mace’s Smorgasbord of Sport, 03-Nov-2014. The art of left-arm unorthodox spin – or Chinaman bowling – is incredibly rare. Only really Brad Hogg, Paul Adams and the one-Test Beau Casson have made decent goes of the art in recent years. The South African-born Dutchman Michael Rippon, however, is doing is … More Six Ball Over: Michael Rippon

Six Ball Over: George Dockrell

November 3, 2014

Originally published on DV Mace’s Smorgasbord of Sport, 03-Nov-2014. George Dockrell, a crafty left-arm spinner, has been making waves in Irish cricket for a long time. He’s been representing his nation since Under-13s level, and in 2010, at the age of 17, was plucked from school to play for his nation. He hit the ground … More Six Ball Over: George Dockrell

Six Ball Over: Niall O’Brien

October 28, 2014

Originally published on DV Mace’s Smorgasbord of Sport, 28-Oct-2014. Kingston, 17 March 2007. The day Ireland climbed into world view as a cricketing nation. On St Patrick’s Day, their low-scoring victory over a Pakistan team including Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Inzamam-Ul-Haq, Shoaib Malik and Umar Gul, was one that thrust them into a whole new … More Six Ball Over: Niall O’Brien

Six Ball Over: Kevin O’Brien

October 22, 2014

Originally posted in DV Mace’s Smorgasbord of Sport, 22-Oct-2014. Ireland has produced many world-class cricketers in the last few years. Of those, the O’Brien brothers have probably been the most prominent. Kevin, the younger of the two, was shot into super-stardom in 2011, when against England he hit the fastest World Cup century ever, leading … More Six Ball Over: Kevin O’Brien

Six Ball Over: Wesley Barresi

October 16, 2014

Originally posted on DV Mace’s Smorgasbord of Sport, 16-Oct-2014. Today’s Six Ball Over is with the Dutch wicketkeeper Wesley Barresi. Wesley has coped well with being a top-order bat, as well as the keeper, and has been an instrumental part of the Netherlands team for some time.
