Another member of the side who qualifies through residency, Ryan’s prolific run scoring for several clubs has seen him rise to become one of the leading run scorers in Scotland over the last few seasons. Prior to his arrival in Scotland, he represented South Africa Schools “B” in 1995 and captained Transvaal Under 24 in 1996. While tidy bowling is also part of his armory, his strength is his batting. This was evidenced by recording the third fastest century in one-day cricket when Somerset were defeated in a National Cricket League match in Edinburgh in May 2003 – his 103 not out coming off only 43 balls.
