Chris Bassano
Christopher Warwick Godfrey Bassano (born 11 September 1975) is a South African-born cricketer and fly-fisher who lives in Tasmania. His father Brian was a South African sports journalist who wrote several books of cricket history.[1] As a resident of Tasmania, and yet a British national, Bassano qualified to play county cricket as an overseas player. On his County Championship debut in 2001 for Derbyshire he hit 186 not out and 106 against Gloucestershire.[2] After finishing with a career-best average during the 2004 season, his form fell away in 2005 and he was released.[3] He played a few Minor Counties matches for Cheshire in 2007. Bassano lives in Tasmania, where he conducts fly fishing tours.[4] He has represented Australia at fly fishing at Commonwealth and world championship level. He has also worked for Tasmania's Inland Fisheries Service on conservation and stocking programs.[5] He designs and markets fishing flies.[6] References
