| Name: Shane Maggs
When Shane arrived on these shores back in 2004, he must have asked over 25 million questions in the 5 months he was here. Half of those were to Che, whom he accommodated in a caravan for the first 7 weeks. One famous question that was asked to Che was…: ‘Do you have cameras in the caravan mate?’ to which Che thought and replied ‘Yes’. After two weeks, Che told a sheepish Shane not to be daft and of course there isn’t. ‘Good’ replied Shane, ‘because what went on in there was kinda pornographic’. In cricketing terms, he brought an energy into the team that could only be rivaled by Gavin Waite. He has an ability to transform from opening seamer to a top draw leggy, as well as a supreme batsman, capable of batting at any position and bat at any tempo. Shane will be welcomed back with open arms, if ever he decided to pass this way again.
