Gershan "Little Magician" Laattoe
My name is Gershan Laattoe aka "Little Magician" born 01 June 1984 in Cape Town opening batsman for Pythons CC. It all started with playing bakers mini cricket, I then made the school team as a No3 batsman, then I took a further step playing club cricket for Western Cape CC. I then progressed to the 3rd team at Strandfontein CC at the age of 15 batting at No4. Thereafter I represented Mitchells Plain CC in the under 19 squad. I subsequently left club cricket for 5yrs due to club politics and played social cricket. I was later approched by Pythons CC in 2010 as they were scouting for a opening batsman. It took me a year to make a decision and join the team in 2011. I cemented my spot by scoring a couple of fifies. My job in the team is to spend as much time as possible at the crease and scaff up the new ball and give the team a good solid start.
My favorite batsman was and still is Herschelle Gibbs
Brendan "BOUNCER" Barnes
I started playing club cricket for Hanover Park CC at the age of 11. Thereafter went on too captain the side from U12 for 3 seasons. Took my first hatrick playing U13 and also took the bowler of the year in that season. Had to stop playing club cricket in matric unfortunately. This is my second season playing in the merchants league and I feel like I’m slowly but surely getting back to what I know I’m capable of.
I am an opening bowling who loves the new ball. Batsmen can be sure that a Bouncer is not too far away. I was normally a number 7 batsman but the quality of Pythons CC batting line up is of such a high standard that it allows me to focus on my bowling more often than not.
Favourite bowler and inspiration growing up: Allan ‘white lighting’ Donald.
Favourite Fielder : Jonty Rhodes
Favourite Batsman: Hanse Cronje (R.I.P)
Lyle Scritten
It was at Norman Henshilwood High where I decided to join the cricket team even opening the bowling on a few occasions. Then made the move on to club cricket and playing for St Augustines in the early 2000's which led to captaining the under 17 team and as constellation a broken thumb!
The rest is just cricket fun days, 6-a-side tournaments, action cricket and social games here and there. Now I'm back in the swing of things and prepared to play my heart out for Pythons! Favourite bowlers "Shaun Pollock & Glen McGrath" favourite batsmen "Jacques Kallis & Chris Gayle"
Oswin "Ozzie" Pretorius
My name is Oswin aka Ozzie, I'm a lover of all sports but my biggest passion is playing cricket with great temperamentand especially with a bunch of great all round cricketers.
Not much to say about my cricketing career but I always stive for winning and that is where my loud vocals come in.
I'm very competitive and always expect my fellow cricketers to be better than me not worse hence the reason for my loud mouth on the field.

Alvin Sirmonpong
I see myself as very good cricket player for as long as I can remember and been on and off for many years. Played cricket for St. Augustines and then I stopped because of soccer. I later went on to play for Cape Town Cricket Club where I actually excelled and won a couple of trophy's and then decided to play social cricket as I grew older. I have a passion for the game and I'm willing to play at all costs because I know the game very well from a player and captaincy point of view. I have many favorite players but if I should choose one it has to be the greatest player still alive which is Sachin Tendulkar.
"Playing cricket for me is like living life, you get bowled both ways and you can still come out on top no matter what they throw at you."

Just like a short ball I thought I'd keep this short and sweet.

Age: Need to know
Skill: Where can I buy some?
New member to the Pythons CC. Would like to think I am a top order batsman but will wait and see how the season goes. My philosophy as a batsman "Bat hit ball". You gonna have to earn my wicket as I dont give it away easily.
Been playing for Glamorgan CC last few seasons and I am looking forward to joining up with some "old" friends and enjoying the season.
Highest score : 86*
Favourite Bowler: J Swain (aka: go to your room)
Favourite Batsmen: Ozzie P (Makes me look good)
