So, who around your area/league could possibly be the next test batsman for England?
From around us I recon this is one to keep an eye on.
He's now I think just about 17 and look at the stats. Hes come in the top 5 or so in the country for amount of runs in the last couple of years and when i've played against him once, looks absolute class.

He's on Yorkshire's books as far as I am aware
Who is there around you?

Hard to judge but I suspect he needs more runs I remember glen chapple scoring big runs as a junior and he bats no higher than 7 at Lancs I think you need some smashing stats to make it as a batsman look at the lads highest scores mainly 2nd and 3rd eleven club cricket and playing in division 3 of a league is hardly going to help him but you never know and it hard to tell without watching players.
I remember growing up struggling to get in my county junior sides and to make it you have to be the best of the best of you age and the next few ages as well in theory to even stand a chance
There a young Irishman just take on a Warwickshire by the name of mark Adair he is rapid and can bat too scored a double hundred in a 20 over school game and plays for Ireland at age group level he is a classy player and could make it big

Ed Barnard - Shrewsbury 17yr old just signed a 2 year deal with Worcs and also just hit a ton in the U19 England v SA U19 test match...playing alongside Simmy's mate, and against a former team mate of mine called Hayes van der Berg (didn't play in the Test tho)

Remember watching his Dad bowl at Headingley - was a whole hearted trier (but not quite up to it, sadly!)
-
Ashley Hayden, 17 year old, plays few years above his age, regularly score 50's and tons, dont have his stats, last season wasnt great for him, his worst in a long time. Hopefully he can pull it back this season :)
-
He's a local guy, playing England under 19s. Recently got a ton in SA

I think he's been playing Birmingham league since he was really young with Shrewsbury 1st's, I don't know him personally but seen him play, looks tops
-
Yeah Ed is a decent lad and handy all round.

Played against Jordan Price a couple of times - he is rapid if a little erratic!!
-
I'm going to throw Tom Fell out there. Worcestershire 2XI currently. Played with him at school and he broke every record there was, never looked in trouble and was literally the most annoying player to bowl at.
Just oozed class, no idea why he missed out on England U19's this year. To show how good he is, he even outclassed Shiv Thakor (U19 captain) when we played Uppingham. Shiv was bowled 3rd ball for a duck and Felly knocked around a classy 78 not out and won us the game. Serious potential.

christian purchase anyone? ;)

Played against Mo Abid, and watched him a fair bit. On occasions he's been absolutely unplayable, where as others he's got a bit of tap early doors and his head goes.
Plus rumours are going round that's he's like 23ish years old.
-
I'm going to say Oli Stone, watched him a few years ago where he didn't really stand out but everybody else who I've talked to seems to have nothing but praise for him.
And it's very nice to see a Norfolk boy skipper the England U19 team and take a heap of wickets!
-
Scott Mckecnie is a class player, saw him at Hartley a few times, very handy keeper as well. As is Sam Billings i knew Mike Atherton really rates this lad
-
There is a kid in my age group at ealing called Arthur Godsal who has a big future in cricket I reckon. He's 14 (so an U15 this coming year) and already bowling in the mid to late 70s, has a Middlesex Academy contract and is playing some U17 (4 yrs up) stuff at Middlesex, is a regular in the seconds at ealing, and played with some success some T20 games for the firsts at the end of last season. Oh, and he took a hat trick at the Bunbury festival (U15 tournament for the best players in the north south east and west of the uk) against boys a year older than him!
There's a name to look out for in maybe 10 years time.

Mo was my age at lancs, in fact no, he was classed as the year below some how. I'll always remember him turning up for under 13's with a beard and then saying he was 12 haha! Like youve said, he has his days, same with most leg spinners really! Btw im 20 now, so he would be saying he is about 19/18! 23 sounds about right though haha
