The Krejza Story

The latest Tasmanian Tigers Cricket player to play for Australia is Jason Krejza, and after Jason Krejzataking 8 wickets on debut in the first innings has now been pushed into the national spotlight.

With a small profile, I have compiled this list of facts (the source of these facts are referenced):

  • Nickname: Krazy
  • Teams: Tasmania, Leicestershire, New South Wales

The Krejza story – The Australian

  • Sustained two stress fractures in his back at the age of 13
  • Management/mentor: Velocity Sports – Alastair Lynch
  • Quote from this story:

“Krejza needs to keep his ambitions simple. Like getting a regular game for Tasmania.”

Cricinfo article – November 7, 2008

  • The 8th best all time figures but also the most runs conceded on debut
  • At this point (day 3 of the 4th test in India) is the 2nd highest wicket taker for Australia (big questions on the bowling front especially our front line strike bowlers!)
