It was many years ago around 1976 and in my formative cricket years at Walsall, Graham Yallop (Aus) and Mushtaq Mohammed played at different times. Was well impressed when Yallop told me to foxtrot oscar one day lol.

I was too young to understand who these guys were.

A very humble guy too.
In our league one of the teams had Andre Russel as their op.

Only overseas you get in Dorset is in premier leage and I don't play that high!

We have a south African, but he isn't a pro and isn't classed as overseas!

I remember many years ago turning up for our 1st net of the season and facing this huge, raw young west indian pace bowler who had just arrived in the uk for the first time . His name was Courtney Walsh.
In those pre helmet days it was not the most enjoyable experience and it felt as though he was bowling with one of those rubber bouncy balls lol.
My claim to fame is I once opened the bowling with him in a cup match and had better figures as the batsmen jumped out the way of him then slogged me on purpose just to get caught.

There's talk of Ian Harvey being a pro for a team in our league this season, don't think the grounds will be big enough for him...

You have to tell him to mind the windows when he bats.

At Henfield, we're getting back our Aussie from last year. In 2010 we booked this guy from Barbados who managed to get repatriated before he got out of arrivals at Heathrow! Luckily we replaced him but ended up with a 5'4" Number three from perth instead of a 6'2" opening bowler from the carribean. Overseas have been hit and miss for us so far. We had an Aussie Grade player for three years who helped Horsham win the Cockspur Cup a fews years back. We had a Zimbabwe A player who broke down after him.

I like the idea that people can come over here and ply their trade for a summer and have an adventure. Two of our guys have gone over to Melbourne this winter to play at our overseas club as a kind of exchange. (Not sure it's been much of a swap mind!)

I play for Hornchurch in the Essex league. We used to play at Hartley in pre season games. Reember playing at yours and everytime it either rained or was a real wet one. It never stopped Min patel smashing it. Remember a young ginger lad a few years back who was decent and i think he made it into the Kent squad.
We don't play anymore against Hartley as someone from our team was dared to do a lap of the square in a borat man'kini, but i do not think some of your members found the funny side of it.
Love the facilities at Hartley and the short short straight boundaries.
