CRICKET: Gibbins flies in
4:18pm Thursday 2nd July 2009
Horspath's Australian all-rounder Alister Gibbins is due to make a belated arrival in the country on Friday.
The Tasmanian had hoped to join Horspath for the start of The Oxford Times Cherwell League season, but has been delayed while finalising his ancestry visa – he has a British grandmother.
Gibbins, who is captain and senior coach at Riverside CC, will be the third Tasmanian to play for the club in three seasons after Adam Pitt and Ollie Robinson.

Are Horspath considered "big guns" then?

Bit late hopping on but if he would,ve arrived earlier in the season then would Horspath have played in VKO?

Why wouldn't they have played in VKO?
I thought he was paying his own way, as have the last 3 Tasmanian's they've had in 2007 and 2008.
He's not a "professional cricketer" as some playing in the Cherwell League profess to be on their MySpace pages!

Almost Scottish I reckon (Grandma from north of the border!).
I think he's running the bar at Miskin Manor for the England .v. Wales NVC match........ ;-)

Surely nothing to do with all their stellar superstars only being available on that night.
No, surely not.
Will have to take a wander, with hubby, along the long and lonely Oxford Rd next Thurs to see who fields what!
You be there Power?
