Profile
A true international cricketer, Joe Harris was born in Madras India, briefly
played first-class cricket in Barbados, but will reach the pinnacle of hs
cricketing career by captaining Canada to the World Cup in South Africa in
2003. He is an exciting right-hand, hard-hitting bat,, and his skills always
seemed to come to the fore when his country most need them. He was picked
for Barbados in the late 1980s largely for his off-spin bowling, but he
failed to make an impression in six first-class matches, and later moved to
Canada. He became a dominant player in the Toronto leagues, and although he
did not play in the 1997 ICC Trophy, soon became an important part of the
national team. Now mostly a middle order batsman, his bowling is still
useful in one-day games, often taking crucial wickets. After taking over the
captaincy, he has presided over one of the most successful Canadian teams in
recent history, welding together talented players from a variety of
backgrounds into a match-winning unit. He was man of the series when Canada
won the inaugural Americas Cup in 2000, and then his captaincy was a vital
component of Canada's successful ICC Trophy campaign in 2001. He led Canada
to the World Cup in 2003, and to a famous victory over Bangladesh in their
opening match. (Dave
