Born in Scotland, but raised in Australia, the former Worcestershire and Durham seamer’s return to the country of his birth has been a timely boost. James played with distinction in all Scotland’s World Cup fixtures in 1999. Added to his ability to bowl quickly is his penchant for big hitting which has seen him featuring as a “pinch-hitter” early in an innings.
