Not much for that Roach with the ball, he is clearly a batsmen, he played some class shots the other day.
Gets a wicket after I sent this :lol: to be fair that hit Tsiga outside the line and was high.

I suppose he is an extra bowling option but he isn't a bowler, surprised the Eagles haven't brought the wristie on yet, Muzondo ahead of him was an interesting call.

The name sounds West Indian, I presume he is overseas? Can't see anything about him on cricinfo. Apologies if I have already missed this conversation.
Barbados U19 player, he was on a cricket scholarship in England, now he's playing here to get a visa to continue playing club cricket in England as an overseas pro.

Jayden looks like he has gotten himself in excellent physical shape. Really pleased for him.

He's registered as a local, as he is no longer playing at first class/List A level anywhere else in the world.

Naqvi (for the moment) and Patrick Rowe playing as Rhinos' overseas.

Good to see Mashford Shungu (u19) playing for Mountaineers. List A debut, which completes the set for him.

Another under 19 like ronak Patel and kawemba who is getting exposure. Bodes well for the under 19 world cup next year

Alex Russell is a 21 year old and looks to be a Northants player who came through Minor Counties (really not easy to do, so must be good?)
We've got a few left arm orthodox guys and a couple of decent leggies already. I'm wondering what the maths was including him. He's going to benefit a lot more than our players are.

Looked into this Patrick Rowe guy. Keeper who played U19 world cup for Australia in 2020. Has also played a single BBL match. Hasn't played any Sheffield Shield yet but somehow played a first class Australia A Vs India A game a couple of years ago. Has a good grade cricket record.
