Hannon Dalby is absolute pants I have to say

 But agree with everything else
Faced HD last year in a cup game reduced to a 20/20 game . If a pants cricketer Like myself can see him out and milk a few boundaries (in crap light) it tells its own story really.

I will add though he is so bloody tall the ball came over the screen down the hill ha ha not rapid by any means but the bounce and seam was lively.

thats the thing - he WAS rapid (I remember chatting to Ramps after said not entirely (No Swearing Please) batsman with 100+ first class tons was OHD's maiden wicket and he was very impressed with eh speed that Oli got on the ball).

Meaker really needs to start bowling a bit more efficiently if he's got any chance of progressing for England.

Against a good batting side in Somerset, his current figures are;

SC Meaker    21.4 - 4 - 111 - 1 @5.12/over

What about that other young guy at Somerset, Gregory? Apparently he's an opening bat by trade but bowls 90+mph - surely he's worth looking at.

Long term I think he will be A future england captain, but at the moment he's still very raw. He will bat at 4, and bowl first change I reckon when at the top of his game!

Not a bad bowling set up for Middx at the moment - Finn, Murtagh, Roland-Jones and Harris - with Berg and Dexter as the all-rounders and Collymore creaking away on the sidelines.

Desperate for a spinner though!

Apart from Swann, there don't seem to be any spinner's that would be capable of holding down a spot in the current England set up.
