Glos' new golden boy

Glos signed a last minute saviour in Duan Jansen. He bowls, he bats, and his fielding skills are incredible. Is there anything this man can't do?

So a week or so ago, we were all in mourning. Liam Scott was going to be missing the first half of the Blast campaign and David Payne was having ankle surgery on an injury picked up during his stint in the Indian Premier League.

So what do the club do? They go and pick up a bloke who fuses the two.

So far he has taken 3-27, 4-25 and 3-22 in the games against Warwickshire Bears, Glamorgan and Yorkshire. The first two were tight games which would no doubt have ended in losses without the 6’8” South African. Tall, slingy and accurate, he isn’t express pace but brisk enough. He has that competitiveness that Gloucestershire need too, with his appraisal of Sam Hain’s technique on Blast Off Friday ramping up the theatre of a special night in BS7. I think he might have been telling young Samuel his name as it certainly looked like he was telling him to ‘do one’. Duan is accurate and he has brought the best out of De Lange and Craig Miles, his seam partners in the attack.
