So after training last week, I got to sit down with Caleb Jewell our overseas player for the season, to find out a little bit more about him.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Tell us a little about yourself, where is home, what is the name of the club side you play for back home etc?<\/span><\/p> I’m from Hobart Tasmania and my local club is <\/span>North Hobart Cricket Club<\/span><\/a>. I\u2019ve played there my whole life since I was a junior. I’ve gone through the ranks with junior cricket and now I’m with them and the <\/span>Hurricanes<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> Is this your first time to England?<\/span><\/p> Yes, this is my first season in the UK.<\/span><\/p> It’s \u2018lovely and warm outside\u2019 – we had to do this interview as it was freezing and raining (welcome to England).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Have you played for a club outside of Australia before?<\/span><\/p> I\u2019ve done a season for <\/span>VOC Rotterdam in Holland<\/span><\/a> about 5 years ago. It was very different, I made some good friends there. The cricket was decent, but I thought it was time to experience this (UK) as I heard so many good things about it. I was 19 at the time\u00a0<\/span><\/p> So you have been in Doncaster for just over a week now, how are you finding it?<\/span><\/p> Yeah, it’s very different from home that’s for sure. A bit of a culture shock, I’ve enjoyed the family feel around the place. Every night I’ve been here there have been people having a beer at the bar, I’ve really enjoyed that bit. To start with three wins was a good start as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> We both saw you play down here last Sunday and part of Monday and some of the shots were sublime. If you haven\u2019t seen them head over to our Facebook page<\/a> for the highlights clip or Youtube<\/a> to watch the entire match.\u00a0<\/span><\/p> So the season started last week, have you got any personal goals?<\/span><\/p> Nope, not at all. I\u2019ve come in with a bit of an open mind. I just want to make sure that I give everyone everything that I\u2019ve got and to try and help a few guys along the way. I’m pretty confident in my game and hopefully I can score some runs, I’m not really here for my own stats. Just want to have some fun and see where we can go as a team. There’s a lot of cups to play in which I’m not used to. (The next round of the National cup is this Sunday away at York).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
