Pro 2009 - Junaid Khan - Pakistan - Current Test & ODI
In 2009 many were surprised when Austerands signed unheard of fast bowler Junaid Khan as our professional. Little did people know that just 12 months later, Juni would become a full international, and the figurehead of the Pakistan teams pace attack!
With a 1st Class record second to none, Junaid continues to go from strength to strength.
He was also a huge hit at Austerlands, picking up 72 wickets in just 14 games with 58 of these, clean bowled!

Dhanuka joined Austerlands on the back of a record breaking 1st class season for Colts CC in 2005.
A top order batsman and fine off spinner Danu scored over 1700 runs and took over 100 wickets in his 2 seasons with us. He will undoubtably be remembered for the greatest innings ever seen in the Saddleworth league. A 72 ball 277 in a T20 game. An innings that propelled Danu into the national news, and which to this day remains a world record!
Pro 1987 - Patrick Patterson - West Indies - 28 Tests / 59 ODI's
It is the stock question for international batsmen. Who is the quickest and nastiest? Graham Gooch did not mind the pace, but he says the only time he has been in fear of his wellbeing was at Sabina Park in February 1986 when, on a grassy pitch, Test debutant Patrick "Patto" Patterson hurtled his inelegant bow-legged way up the hill, thrust his leading leg high, studs at the batsman, stamped down hard enough to measure on the Richter Scale, and, bowling like the devil in front of his home crowd, put the wind up England's finest. He took 4 for 29 on his first day in Tests, 7 for 73 in the match
