[Herculus]

Should Ryan Ten Doeschate be signed by an IPL team ? Ryan Neil ten Doeschate (born 30 June 1980, Port Elizabeth, Cape Province, South Africa) is a Dutch cricketer who has represented Western Province and currently plays for Essex. He matriculated at Fairbairn College in Goodwood, near Cape Town in 1998. Whilst at school, he excelled at both rugby and cricket. His leadership potential was recognised with his appointment as a College Prefect. Due to his Dutch ancestry, he plays One-Day International cricket for the The Netherlands. Locally, he is a member of Clacton Cricket Club, but rarely actually plays for them now due to his Essex commitments. Ten Doeschate was discovered by Essex when they went on a pre-season tour of South Africa. His all-round abilities for Western Province caught their eyes. He is qualified to play county cricket by virtue of holding EU citizenship. He is a big-hitting right-handed batsman and he bowls right-arm medium-fast deliveries. In successive innings in international matches for The Netherlands in the ICC Intercontinental Cup competition in 2005 and 2006 he scored 84, 158, 138, 100 and finally 259 not out in the victory over Canada in December 2006. This latter innings set a new record for the competition, breaking the mark of 247 established by Bermuda's David Hemp earlier in the same tournament.[1] Ten Doeschate was selected in the Netherlands squad for the 2007 Cricket World Cup. In a warm-up match prior to the World Cup, he captured five wickets against a strong India team. His haul included the wickets of Sourav Ganguly, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.[2] In 2008, ten Doeschate became one of the cornerstones of a strong Essex team and enjoyed success with them by winning the Friends Provident Trophy and Pro40 Division 2. In the opening match of the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, he contributed to the shock defeat of the host nation, England, by the Netherlands by bowling the opening batsmen, Ravi Bopara and Luke Wright and being the not out batsman with a score of 22.[3] During a Clydesbank Pro40 match against the Derbyshire Falcons, ten Doeschate managed 109not out as the Essex Eagles won on the Duckworth-Lewis law.The Netherlands all-rounder blasted seven sixes and five fours in a 59-ball hundred as Essex swept home with 2.4 overs to spare.
