Last night Eric and Pete along with their team-mates left for that London. I still can't get my head round the fact that two of my mates, blokes who I drink with and have had round to our house for tea, will be playing against England at Lord's on June 5th.It's a surreal thought, I can tell you.
Eric Swarczinski has been Sean & Dylan's coach for the last two years, and Peter Borren is coaching them in 2009 - just not for the next two weeks.
Eric is considered to be Holland's most talented batsman, but his lack of self-belief is thought to be what's prevented him making the leap to county cricket. Though he did score 98 against Glamorgan earlier this season.
Pete as a New Zealander was the leading wicket taker in the 2004 Under 19 World Cup. He's a full time pro, but the only member of that Kiwi team not playing in first class cricket. A penchant for beer and fags probably explains that. He's an OTF lurker though non-contributor.
With county cricket players Alexei Kervezee, Ryan ten Doeschate and Dirk Nannes, the Dutch are a decent T20 team, roughly the equivalent of a lower-middle division two team, I reckon.
