An hugely impressive pace bowler with exceptional control who proved a real handful to all but the best of our TCL opponents and has accunmulated 145 career wickets already in the two years he has been aith the club. Arguably the finest pound-for-pound bowler to have appeared for ADCC.

Previously played his cricket with New Brighton and now for East Christchurch-Shirley alongside NZ test stars Craig McMillan, Nathan Astle and Michael Paps.

Likes to bat early in the order and played some impressive knocks last season. Posesses a magnificent arm from the deep and has superb reflexes. Learned how to swim during the summer of 2009 after taking a liking to clams.
