Professional Player, Auckland, New Zealand
The Auckland Cricket Association is looking to contract a senior strike bowler to lead its attack in the New Zealand domestic competitions over the 2008-2009 summer. The State Auckland Aces have a number of promising fast bowlers who are more than capable support seamers and will hopefully develop into leading strike bowlers over the next few years, but at this stage we have no-one to lead the attack and who these young seamers can learn from. In previous years we have been well catered for in this area with Chris Martin, Andre Adams and Kyle Mills but we have lost Andre to ICL and Chris and Kyle are unlikely to play more than one or two games in the coming summer due to a heavy international program.
The successful candidate will be a strike bowler with a proven first class record, injury free and a good role model and mentor for younger fast bowlers. He will ideally be right arm as two of our promising bowlers are left armers.
We are able to offer:
Retainer ( to be negotiated)
Standard match fees
Accommodation
Return airfare
Car
