His story just gets better and better...

Our boy Vansh Jani from England had a somewhat modest start to his Aussie summer scoring 91 runs at 22.75 over 4 games. He managed to score a game in 3's where he impressed and started to find his groove. In 3's he eventually scored 401 runs at 50 and even picked up 7 wickets. Towards the end of the season he scored a promotion to 2's and this is where he really took off. In 4 digs he scored 56, 146, 148 and 34. 384 runs at 96.

With Ed Pollock returning to England Vansh became St George 1st Grade player No.477 and in the Semi Final finished with 59 not out in his debut innings batting with Kurtis Patterson.

A week later he scored a premiership ring in 1st Grade and finished with 70 runs at 70 from his two 1st grade digs.

All up he finished with 946 runs and 8 wickets which was enough to win the prestigious Kerry O'Keeffe Medal for the St George DCC Player of the Year.

Unfortunately Vansh has left to return home to England but not before he left an indelible mark on our club and we were glad we could provide him with some opportunities to improve his cricket and live the Australian dream for a short while.

Congrats Vansh on a sensational season

GRASSROOTS CRICKET: PROFILES OF CHAMPIONS: LUNDI MBANE

Today we feature the last of the "famous five" Over 40s Cricket World Cup champions and their roads to success and glory. Here is Lundi Mbane's story in his own words...

"That's me (I was raised in Mdantsane. When I was nine years old, I began playing street cricket with the older guy. At my school (Zanokukhanya P School), a student who was older than me used to play cricket. He told the teacher, who was also a cricket coach, that I could play the game. His teacher then took me to Baker's Mini Cricket. After that, he also took me to play cricket for Willows Cricket Club, which intrigues me. I have participated in games for all age groups within the Border, including Border Academy, Border B and Border A, Warriors, and SA invitation teams against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Recently, We won the World Cup with Vets over 40)".

We hope that his and all the other stories inspire and ignite the cricketing spark. Howzattt Cricket along with many other wonderful grassroots organisations and clubs are working to find, nurture and develop future grassroots stars.

Thank you to Ridiwaan Williams for the picture. Picture: Lundi Mbane standing on extreme left hand side.
