Title: Young talent
Post by: RSpall on September 16, 2014, 09:10:33 AM
Who's the up and coming talent that will play for England? A friend of mine got his first class debut yesterday for notts. Hoping he can go on and have a successful cricketing career!

Sam Hain, played up in Scotland when he was about 13/14 and averaged over 100 at an ok level of cricket. Looks to have really kicked on and is already racking up big runs for Warks.

Really like the look of Will Rhodes and Matt Fisher at Yorkshire - Fisher especially, only 16 and has already opened the bowling for England U19.

He's declared himself, and i quote, a 'fair dinkum pom'

He was born in Hong Kong or somewhere like that to British Parents, so god knows what naionality you'd call him. But he seems to have nailed his colours to the England mast. Which is pretty handy!

Also like to add the obvious pairing of Reece Topley & Tymal Mills plus i really like the look of Ateeq Javid, real combative utility player type, next few years will determine whether he becomes a bowler who can bat or a batsman who can send down the odd over, either way, seems a real scrapper!

I think a lot of the time youngsters make it purely on luck of getting the nod at the right time. My friend playing today (jake Libby) has only got the nod because notts can't win the league. Would have been a completely different scenario if they could still win it. He's currently churning on 25*.

Confusing!! As you say...born in Hong Kong to British parents, educated in Queensland Aus. Played for Queensland age groups and Aus U-19.
But seems to want to play for England. He certainly looks like a huge talent so will be interesting to know who he will play for......and when?

Kulli, where did Hain play?

Didn't realise that! We've had our fair share of handy players dotted around Scotland.

Seen the lad Hosain took 7 catches on debut yesterday, only about 16/17 years old. Amazing to have experienced that level so early on, the exposure to it will no doubt stand him in good stead!

Musselbrough!Purely because of the school connection.

Played against Cheeky when he must have been about 12, was already at least as good as me back then.

Ah not a bad record that! Bet that would have quietened down the field after racking up a hundred at that age.

Coleman of Warwickshire (Scottish link showing through)
Cross of Notts (Scottish link showing through)

Both I'd imagine will be on show at some stage during next season.

Foakes & Duckett seem to be making ripples now. Both getting in and around the first XI's consistently.

I'm glad these guys are getting a look in these days. I think there needs to be a better process for bringing on the younger generation, although second XI cricket is decent. I know some bang average players that i play the same standard as that play 2's over the summer months that don't really deserve it.

Craig Miles at Gloucestershire is a good young prospect.

Jake would have batted a lot with Uzi Qureshi for Cardiff MCCU - Uzi is Asad's son so small world!
Looks to have had an excellent start into FC cricket!  :D

Tom Abell from Somerset looks a good'un!

Tom has got a couple of half centuries so far. His stats from uni are crazy can't remember exactly but it was record breaking
