The interviews are coming thick and fast at the moment. This time, with South Africa A Team member, Davey Jacobs. Wanderer conducted the interview.

Davey Jacobs is a selected member of the WAT South Africa A Team 2005/6. Thanks to his South African franchise, The Gestetner Diamond Eagles, we were able to get in contact with Davey and pose him a few questions in order for us to find out a little bit about him and his background.

Davey is a dashing middle order bat, originally from the Transvaal. His batting in the four day game originally caught the eye, He was picked for the South Africa team for the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand in 2002, and since then his profile has risen considerably.

Consistent performances for Orange Free State and the Eagles saw him called up to the South Africa A team for the Emerging Players Tournament in Brisbane in July 2006. This provided him with the opportunity to play some tough one day games against a strong Australia A line up to help develop his game play in limited over games.

Recent strong performances for representative sides against touring teams from Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe convinced the World-A-Team selectors of his credentials for this year’s A Team selection.
