PS = AN EMAIL Note from A Cricket Follower in Vancouver, …. my nephew-one step-removed CJ Van Twest (son of Ivor Van Twest & Winifred Stewart) …. His note is about KAMINDU MENDIS from Richmond College:
“Had my eye on this guy since he played under 19 for sri lanka. Phenomenal talent. Played one game against a fielder that could throw with both hands. Could cover point and cover point. Bowling with both hands. Would be very interested in knowing about his coach at Richmond and how you develop a talent like that. Probably leave it alone and make sure the distractions are limited.”
