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.
