South African overseas all-rounder George Linde is out to prove to Kent’s fans just what he can do this summer. Linde, 31, has found some form in Spitfires’ last two T20 defeats after enduring a tough first season of his two-year all-format deal with Kent.
He scored an 11-ball 22 not out and took 2-28 in Sunday’s last-ball loss at home to Surrey, two days after inspiring a similarly positive finish to their innings in the seven-wicket defeat to Glamorgan in Cardiff with 26 not out in 12 balls.
Linde, who found rhythm over the winter in his native country, said: “I was playing good cricket before I came. “I struggled in the first couple of games.
But I’m still pretty confident, I still back myself, I know what player I can be, and I’ve got to prove to the Kent fans who I really am. “Hopefully, this season it will happen.
