Has been playing County for years under his Dutch passport, still there so must've got a Brit passport in that time too as he's still there playing since Brexit. Was out here for the t20 WC playing for the Netherlands. Still only 31I remember him well, was destined for greater honours.....
His triple century in this game:
WA vs NSW Cricket Scorecard, , 24th Match at Perth, February 17 - 19, 2012
Live Cricket Scoreboard: Get Western Australia vs New South Wales 24th Match, cricket scorecard, Sheffield Shield 2011/12 dated February 17 - 19, 2012.www.espncricinfo.com
I remember most shield cricketers over the years but I've got to admit I cant recall the NSW bowler Timm van der Gugten.....apparently played for the Hurricanes about 10 years ago
I don't recall him ever playing for NSW...only Tassie and The Netherlands.I remember him well, was destined for greater honours.....

Another blast from the past for Warriors fans in that game is Wes Robinson.

Wes Robinson and Liam Davis, one of the great opening combos
good to see a page with Theo Doropoulos mentions, admire how he's followed the james brayshaw career path but not quite as successful at each step. page needs a bit more david bandy thoughBits and Pieces All-Rounders of the 90s/00s ODD Scene

Fix me or take me: The ballad of Rob Baker
Twenty summers after his blossoming cricket career was forever cut short, the former Australia U19 captain and WA prodigy reveals for the first time the full extent of a decade-long physical and mental battle that almost cost him his life
Worth a read, it's a good tale of someone rated better than Katich or Mike Hussey as a junior

Anyone else remember a Sheffield Shield game where NSW sent out Nathan Bracken as a "lunch watchman"?
They lost a wicket an over or two before lunch, and sent out Bracken at #3 instead of the regular batsman.
I always wondered was this some strange new tactic that never caught on, or did they honestly somehow mistake Lunch for Stumps?

This guy would be about as niche as they come.

I saw the forty odd that they mention in the article live, both sides were full chock of internationals but Smith was the one everybody went home talking about.

I thought it might have been the game when they rolled SA for 29, and he took 7 for 4. But it wasn't that game.

And how does a batting lineup containing Robinson, Davis and Birt defeat one containing Watson, Hughes, Khawaja, Smith and Haddin by an innings and 323 runs...

Lol, Darren Berry was very vocal in the press about Kane Richo being our next all rounder.
Evan Gulbis is a funny one. When I was at Carlton CC years ago, he was a bat on the cusp of Vic selection but did not bowl at all. All of a sudden starts bowling around the time he gets his first Vic game (which he didn't get a bowl in) and he's consistently 135km occasionally pushing 140 but wayward. Ends up with an FC career as a bowling all rounder (albeit one who has scored a 200). Still only 36 making runs for fun for Carlton and one of the cleanest strikers of the ball I've ever seen. Only 36, stunned he didn't play more big bash.
EDIT: Just checked cricinfo and he played 52 t20 games and was ordinary. Still surprised he isn't in a squad. Ideal spare parts man.
