Title: Your Players To Watch In 2009
Post by: Howzat on December 31, 2008, 01:50:16 PM: Who do you think will shine in 2009?

1) Dawid Malan - Had a great 2008 really shone towards the end of the season and was key in Middlesex's 20/20 campaign.

2) Xavier Marshall - Clearly a great player with a lot of talent, will be a force to be reckoned with in 09.

3) Ajantha Mendes - Sri Lankas new spin sensation toppled many great batsman in just a handful of tests in 2008, can he do the same in 2009?

Joe Denly and Rashid
I hear that name every year, "Adil Rashid is gonna be great", "Rashid will be one of the best players this year" but each year he fails to 'step up to the plate' if thats the right term.

Post by: Outlaw on December 31, 2008, 03:05:39 PM: I'd say he had a very good season last year, 62 county championship wickets and 516 runs including a century.

Post by: yvk3103 on December 31, 2008, 09:13:35 PM: what about Graham Napier, there was some talk of him being rushed to India for the one days when ENG was loosing their matches one after the other.

Adil Rashid, I hope he gets a few games in. Not too much. But just to give him a peep into the demands of International cricket.

Post by: Johnny on December 31, 2008, 09:19:03 PM: I'd like to see Steve Croft at Lancs kick on from a very good (if potentially low key) 2008.
Title: Re: Your Players To Watch In 2009
Post by: stevie on December 31, 2008, 09:31:17 PM: Napier had 2 good innings in the 2020 last year and that's all. Mascharanous is alot better than Napier.

I'm a fan of Crofty too, I think he can become a key all rounder in the one day game and a decent batter in the County Championship. He has had some decent knocks but is inconsistent at the moment, I think he is playing for Auckland at the moment.

Post by: yvk3103 on January 01, 2009, 12:29:06 PM: What about Hasim Amla. He had a good 2008 and should do well in 2009.

Chris Gayle.....if he keeps batting like the way he's been doing lately, he should be the one to watch out for
