Bradley Erasmus

Bradley Erasmus is quite the prospect and arguably the heaviest non-County contracted run-scorer in English cricket.

A tall, hard-hitting opening batsman, Erasmus has lorded club cricket in recent years, hitting 17 centuries over the past 24 months, in addition to 3 for the MCC Young Cricketers in 2019.

Playing for Dorking in the Surrey Championship, he has racked up 2,314 runs at 70.12 with 13 centuries (2018-19) alongside 929 runs at 58.06 with 4 centuries (including a double) playing down under for South Caulfield in the Cricket Southern Bayside Competition.

Erasmus, who is now approaching 50 centuries in all forms of cricket, is proven performer – dominant with the bat, useful with the ball (medium pace) and is eager to break into County cricket.

The talented batting all-rounder has prior County experience having represented both Middlesex and Surrey through the age-groups. He made his 2nd XI County debut for the latter as a 16-year-old and averaged 36.50 and 19.40 in seasons 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Two years later, Erasmus featured for Sussex in 5 2nd XI outings, playing in both Championship (30 in his only match) and T20 (85 runs at 21.25) matches.

The opening batsman has returned to Melbourne for a second stint with South Caulfield this winter, but on his return, it’s envisaged he’ll continue playing for the MCC Young Cricketers in pursuit of County honours.

Erasmus, who has enjoyed 2 barnstorming seasons with Dorking, is now contemplating a move in order to pursue Premier cricket to enhance his chances of a County contract. He will be based in Chertsey (Surrey) and will be seeking a club within close proximity.
