Rotterdam Dockers

Brilliantly, especially off, um, the most recent cricket he's played.

His or most recent professional cricket he's played has been in the ETPL for the Rotterdam Dockers.

To come in and bowl as fast as he did and as much as he did, um, with the accuracy and the fire, um, was just brilliant to see.

And how exciting is test cricket when, when you do get guys bowling north of 90 miles an hour? And yeah, it-- we've got a, we've got a great series on our hands, and, and it was an excellent contest today.

Yeah.

very nice natural way of life he has in India kids go to school in the jungle with bare feet then they come home for tea and a barbecue, fish by the sea and swim in the ocean sounds like a delightful life really but no it was lovely meeting John T head of his involvement with the Rotterdam Dockers which you're going to look at it at the summer stage, don't you, James?

Well, yeah, the ETPL obviously finished on Sunday, so after we're recording this.

So, yeah, that's another interesting little development this summer.

Hire the right pro today.

You're the, part of the management group of Rotterdam Dockers.

Yes, we're co-owner with, uh-

With, co-owner with-

Yeah.

Nathan also said that his favorite team in the competition, or one of the most watchable, is the Rotterdam Dockers, he said, because they've got three 40-plus-year-olds in Captain Faf du Plessis, David Wiese, and Roelof van der Merwe, who now play for three different countries.

Well, Faf du Plessis retired from international cricket.

But they started their c- cricketing journeys together as 18, 19-year-olds 22 years ago in, uh, in, I think it was probably still Northern Transvaal then, but they were playing for the, the Titans.

For the Guardians with the bat in hand, it was Harry Tector, the Irishman himself, who said, "Okay, I love coming back home," batting at number three, would score 45 off of 29, but just wouldn't get any support thanks to four wickets from Jack Jarvis, two from Tom Curran, and two from Brandon McMullen, as the Castle Rockers would go on to win by 12 runs.

The Rotterdam Dockers were up against the Belfast Wolves who were batting first.

And the Wolves, well, they loved what they saw from Lorcan Tucker, 'cause batting at number three he scored 58 off of 42.

Couple that with David Miller's 40 off of 26, and it was enough to get the Wolves to 161, despite two wickets from Anrich Nortje and Logan van Beek.

Then for the Rotterdam Dockers with the bat in hand, Faf du Plessis would get to 31 before Michael Levitt and Heinrick Klassen would each climb past the 40s.

And Shubman Gill, the American, well, he would put on the finishing touches, scoring 29 off of 16, a strike rate of 181, as the Dockers would go on to win by seven wickets with 12 balls remaining.

The Dublin Guardians took on the Glasgow Cosmic, and the Guardians, well, they didn't have that welcome home they wanted to with the bat as they batted first.
