 Profile

Vernon Philander is a powerful allrounder who has enjoyed consistent success with the Cape Cobras. He played for South Africa Under-19s on their tour of England in 2003 and the U-19 World Cup in Bangladesh. In 2004 he had a short stint with Devon and appeared in two C&G Trophy matches, helping Devon to a famous win over Leicestershire. In 2006-07 he produced an impressive one-day season for the Cobras, averaging 72 with the bat and 30 with the ball. It was enough to earn him a place in South Africa's squad for their one-day tour of Ireland, a team he'd been lined up to play for before a stress fracture of his back, and he was rewarded for a good display there with a spot in the Twenty20 World Championships. He joined Middlesex for the 2008 season.Andrew McGlashan April 2008
