England Under 16 Tour

 James Fraser

Sandford's James Fraser has returned from his second tour of South Africa, this time with the England Under 16s. His tour was progressing well when he suffered a huge set back when he strained some of the oblique in his right hip in the game against Western Province Under 17s at the Newlands test arena. Before this misfortune he had taken 1-32 off ten overs against Northern Suburbs, 3-7 off 6 overs against Western Province Under 15s - he first over was a three wicket maiden! After this match the side were spoken to by the England Coach Duncan Fletcher. Against Langa he took 1-25 off seven. Unfortunately his tour came to an abrupt end when after taking a wicket in his first over at Newlands he suffered his injury in his third and he could not take any part in the remainder of the tour. England won 4 of their 7 games.
