Born in Canada to Australian parents who were working over there.
Moved to Australia after a few months and was brought up there. Went to the Australian cricket academy in 92/93 and went on to play for Victoria. Couldn't get a game for Victoria as he was being kept out by Shane Warne (he's actually a spin bowler, not a batsman!), so last season he moved to South Australia.
He sent a letter to the Canadian Cricket Association in 1994, saying that he wanted to play for the country of his birth, the idiots didn't reply til 2000.
