“I’m looking forward to joining the Amazon Warriors!
I’m ready for the challenge.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to work with some of the best players
from the Caribbean and worldwide.”
Lance Klusener brings a wealth of experience with a successful
coaching career in South Africa, Afghanistan, and Zimbabwe.
One of the most punishing allrounders in modern cricket was born.
Lance Klusener had made his mark at Test level, especially in 1996-97
when he hit an unbeaten 102 against India at Newlands,
and took 8 for 64 in Calcutta
But he'll probably be best remembered for his performances in the 1999
World Cup, when he won FOUR :Man-of-the-Match awards.
Only an excruciating defeat by Australia kept South Africa out of the final -
and big Lance almost won that semi-final, hitting consecutive boundaries
to level the score. Dismissed only twice in the tournament,
he ended it with a batting average of 140.50
as well as taking 5 for 21 against Kenya.
