GRASSROOTS CRICKET: PROFILES OF CHAMPIONS: LUNDI MBANEToday we feature the last of the "famous five" Over 40s Cricket World Cup champions and their roads to success and glory. Here is Lundi Mbane's story in his own words..."That's me (I was raised in Mdantsane. When I was nine years old, I began playing street cricket with the older guy. At my school (Zanokukhanya P School), a student who was older than me used to play cricket. He told the teacher, who was also a cricket coach, that I could play the game. His teacher then took me to Baker's Mini Cricket. After that, he also took me to play cricket for Willows Cricket Club, which intrigues me. I have participated in games for all age groups within the Border, including Border Academy, Border B and Border A, Warriors, and SA invitation teams against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Recently, We won the World Cup with Vets over 40)".We hope that his and all the other stories inspire and ignite the cricketing spark. Howzattt Cricket along with many other wonderful grassroots organisations and clubs are working to find, nurture and develop future grassroots stars. Thank you to Ridiwaan Williams for the picture.
