Travis Head in action for Ventnor at Newclose
He spent a summer piling up the runs for Ventnor but now Travis Head is putting England's bowlers to the sword in The Ashes.
The 27-year-old left hander had a season at Steephill in 2013, when he topped the Southern Premier League batting charts with 733 runs.
Overnight he hit a scintillating unbeaten 112 for Australia in Brisbane and went on to make 152, including four sixes and 14 boundaries, as the Aussies posted 425 all out, having earlier dismissed England for a dismal 147.
After his successful season on the Island, he went on to play county cricket for Yorkshire and Sussex, where he will be captain in 2022.
This innings was his third test century and the third fastest in Ashes history.
Ventnor's other international cricketers include the Island's Danny Briggs (England) and New Zealander Cole McConchie.
