A proud moment in my life
« on: June 01, 2013, 04:44:56 PM »

Today I had the privilege to personally meet South African Fast Bowler Fanie De Villiers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanie_de_Villiers
http://www.espncricinfo.com/southafrica/content/player/44696.html

He has come this weekend to Romania to be as a chief guest for a tri-nations cricket tournament hosted by Romania.

I am pretty chuffed that he loved the ST bats and decided to buy one for his own son who plays in UK.
It was very nice of him to also say some words in front of the camera.

Here is the video Link and some pictures:

Superb mate, and truly well deserved judging by the quality of bats you're kicking out.

That's absolutely quality mate. Particularly like the photo of him taking a photo of the bat on his mobile  ;) Not in the least bit surprised you're chuffed!

well done mate, looking at the bats you make you certainly deserve this.

Fannie was always a character - good fun personality.

Awesome dude!! Used to love Fannie back in the day, he was a very wily cricketer :)

How about some specs of the bat? Looks very, very nice. Lotsa meat on it, as Fannie said.

Thank you all!

It is this bat:

Sold thrice but each time buyers backed out at the last moment.
Glad that Fanie considered it good enough for his son.
