He only had one season in English cricket, but Vince van der Bijl took 85 wickets at 14.72, so no wonder Middlesex won the Gillette Cup and County Championship and no surprise that skipper Mike Brearley looks so happy (and if that weren't enough Vince averaged 25 with the bat as well)




Met Vince van der Bijl on school sport & the amazing work Masisport is doing to uplift youth through after-school programs & sports. At Western Cape Government Cultural Affairs & Sport, we know the power of partnerships and will work closely with partners. Also got some top cricketing tips from the legend himself! 😜🏏
