Title: 203 not out, aged 15
Post by: Liam-SCCC on July 16, 2010, 08:00:54 PM
This is a lad at my club, he is 15 and hit his maiden ton last year.

A week a go he did this!

http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/archive/2010/07/07/Cricket+(br_cricket)/8258247.Dom_blasts_remarkable_double_ton/

Before this his top score for the season was 96 and in the 2 innings before this match he hit 50* and 56*.

He hit this double with my bat! Along with the previous 56*.

He has never played district or county cricket as the trials are in the winter. He has a contract at Southampton football club so can't go to the trials.

Oh an he bowls and fields pretty tidy too!

My brother has hit 3 tons already this year and 5 overall, he is 13, and I'm yet to score a single one ever! He is an exceptional talent, far better than I was and I played for the North of England at his age! As you said Liam for such a young player to score so many runs is brilliant, and shows me that the leagues will only get stronger as time goes on.

fair play to him,i hit a few fities by the time i was 15 but nowhere near 200!!

i'm sure that double ton will be the first of many.

I play at the same club as this bloke and he has 2 double centuries to his name and he is only 17. His first was at the age of 12 and his other was last year. He also was the top run scorer and judged champion player at the national championships last year over here is Aus. If he continues the way he is going, he has a bright future ahead of him.
