Not really when you look at his results over the period in question - they're not that good.Biggest surprise was that he was NOT included in nominees of best emerging players awards for 2009.
?Cornellius de Villiers, Ruan Pietersen [RSA]
Monish Parmar [Ind] - Murali clone. Doesn't play games atm as he apparently has a suspect action.
A left arm pace bowler iirc.
I dont know. My friend was hyping this guy up when we were having a chat some time back. I remember reading an article that mentioned his bowling figures in a match before. Checked his record and it wasn't bad either. So, I thought it was worth a shout.His never played franchise cricket.
Sure you don't mean Obus Pienaar, or Charl Pietersen? Both left-arm seamers who play top level cricket in the Republic.
are his results so bad that he can not even be considered an emerging player? I dont think so!Not really when you look at his results over the period in question - they're not that good.
Franchise cricket is the professional game.I dont know. My friend was hyping this guy up when we were having a chat some time back. I remember reading an article that mentioned his bowling figures in a match before. Checked his record and it wasn't bad either. So, I thought it was worth a shout.
Btw, what is franchise cricket in RSA? Private FC tournament or something?
Cheers for the info TTB. Never knew that tbh.Franchise cricket is the professional game.
Provincial cricket, what that Ruan Pietersen plays is amateur. Though, provincial has first class and list a status, so there is many cricketers who have fantastic looking records but have never played the professional game. Always a word of caution when looking at South African player stats as they are skewed because of this. If they play for the Dolphins, Cobras, Titans, Warriors and Eagles, they are legit, anything else is not worth considering.
