Justin Kemp – the Effigy of efficient cricket

by Karthik Narayan

South Africa have had the flair for producing fluent fairy tale cricketers such as Hansie Cronje, Allan Donald, Pollock and more recently Lance Klusener. Fait Accompli shall be this Moral of Cricket. And it has been a luxurious fantasy not to be enjoyed by many teams; much to the chagrin of opposition bowlers, in comes in the New Age Breed of the same Clan – arriving with the bang of a Sling Shot, yet announcing his name for all the world to see and read thus – Justin Miles Kemp.

A medley of many talents, this natural cricketer hails from Queenstown, Cape Province. Being the cousin of former South African International Cricketer Dave Callaghan is another feather in Kemp’s cap.

Kemp represented Eastern Province, Northerns and the Titans before making his test debut for South Africa, following some real good performances in the local arena. His test debut came with him being used mainly as a medium pacer who batted way down the order as a batsman who liked to swing the bat and connect for valuable runs.
