The turn of the millennium is still fresh in our minds and here we have someone, born in this century and being talked about for her feats against players who were probably of her age when she was born. Here we have a 14-year-old, Amelia Kerr from New Zealand, who seems to have mastered the most difficult art – bowling leg-spin. Amelia Kerr bowling leg-spin in the final of national T20 championship at Dunedin, New Zealand, against Otago Sparks. This was Kerr’s first televised match since her debut for Blaze, two months ago and she performed like a pro.

Amelia Kerr shows her Leg-Spinning Prowess:

She ended up with figures of 3-19 in four overs, bowling up front and at death with equal aplomb, as Wellington chased down the 98-run target with 28 balls to spare. Captain Sophie Devine said of Kerr: “She’s unbelievable. She’s bowled a couple of last overs during our season and doesn’t get fazed. Thinking back to that age, I would’ve been crapping my pants, but she’s had a fantastic first year. She’s an exciting talent and, if we look after her and let her grow up, she could be a world beater.”

Kerr, who will start year 10 at Tawa College, has already played a good number of List A (One-Day) and T20 matches for Wellington Blaze. In her first televised game in the T20 finals, she handled everything like a pro in front of the cameras and fans, shooting to instant fame. Kerr aims to be an all-rounder and she has proven herself with a fine hundred with the bat for her college last year. She said, “Once I get a bit stronger and older I’d like to become an all-rounder. When I play boys cricket, I’m a batter who doesn’t bowl.”

New Zealand will surely hope for young Kerr to sharpen her skills further and make it to the White Ferns side for the 2017 World Cup in England and repeat the feat of Emily Drumm, when they lifted the cup for the first time in 2000. A leg-spinner in any format is a treat to watch.
