It's going to be a hell of a fight for that position mate. Johnno was betting at 5 for warks this year so he may get into the team for batting alone

[essexarsenal]

Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Harris, Scott Borthwick, Ross Whiteley, Nathan Buck, James Vince, Matt Coles, Liam Dawson, Boyd Rankin

Then players breaking through - Joe Root, James Taylor, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, Chris Woakes, Danny Briggs, Stuart Meaker,

Few good young players about !

[Manormanic]

At Yorkshire...Rafiq, obviously, is being groomed to replace Swann, and I still see an international future for Adil Rashid to boot.  A third Asian lad, Moin Ashraf, should get into the frame in 18 months or so, probably for the one dayers initially.  Root and Bairstow are obvious and you will all know that Gary Ballance and Adam Lyth are contenders with the bat.  One you may not have heard of is Jack Leaning, who has the potential to deveLop big style.

At Middlesex, because I'm a member there too, I'd say Toby Roland Jones and John Simpson are the main contenders.

Malan had a good year

[Manormanic]

Malan had a good year

not got the technical ability though...

[cricketbadger]

Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, James Harris, Scott Borthwick, Ross Whiteley, Nathan Buck, James Vince, Matt Coles, Liam Dawson, Boyd Rankin

pretty much the performance programme squad, did you just copy and paste this?

[FattusCattus]

I'll back Toby roland Jones, he looks a tall, nippy prospect. Also the welsh boy Harris who has joined us this year. we may have a handy bowling attack next year!

[compstallcc]

think he's been mentioned but simon kerrigan.

[procricket]

Ashraf may get fast tracked very impressive him

Not convinced Simmy is good enough with bat or gloves but he is improving and quality

[cricketbadger]

I cant see Ashraf gettin a go really, not sure the rumours of him reaching 180mph on his parody twitter account are true

[joeljonno]

Just backing Manormanic, there's a lot of 'potential' at Yorkshire, just waiting to see who can really make the step up. Nice to see 'our' Jack Leaning getting a mention too.

[PedalsMcgrew]

I've been wracking my brains trying to remember his name and then it came to me. Matt Dunn of Surrey.

Thorpe reckons he's the quickest thing he's seen in years and he's only 19. Thorpe is a pretty good judge of a player as well.

Has anyone mentioned Sam Northeast? A lot of ex pro's seem to rate him very highly although I haven't seen enough to know if it's deserved....

[FattusCattus]

I think Sam is just starting to kick on. I think he had a slow start, but Kent batted him at 3 for much of the season, and I'm sure he got some good runs before the end of the season.

[Alvaro]

Northeast opened last year.

[SOULMAN1012]

Kents leading run scorer in county championship I believe
