Jonathan Van De Ruit

"Jono"

A powerful lad, Jono played Baseball for South Africa where he was born, and does it show in his catching and fielding; Already the safest hands in the Thistle side. An attacking batsman with some huge shots, capable of destroying a bowling attack. This rapper can be a nippy right-arm over bowler, more nimble now that he has recovered from his injuries.

Twice in 2007 he scored more than 24 runs in a single over. With his head screwed on he has the perfect cricket attitude and has developed as a batsman throughout 2007. It would be fair to say in 2008 he did not live up to his potential with other things on his mind and availability was been patchy.

For 2009 it seems there are marriage bells on the horizon. Hurry up and get married, then you can concentrate on cricket!
