Tumua Ioane
Possibly a borderline one... a Samoan cricketer. Samoa is only an afficiate member of the ICC (not even an associate member, so about as low as we can get on the scale, and there are probably only half a dozen entries for associate nation players on WP). And cricket is hardly a big sport in Samoa - it's not even the dominant form of cricket in Samoa (that's Kilikiti). Also, given a quick glance at who created this article, it has a strong whiff of vanity. I'd put it below borderline as a delete. Oh, and only two google hits for "Tumua Ioane"+cricket, although there is a different Tumua Ioane who plays rugby league for Wellington (who gets quite a few more hits). Grutness...wha?  12:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
