Don't blame him for taking the deal, I'm sure he'll be a great player in the future and will have offers coming out of his ears at that point. You have to question what Mars would get out of giving free kit to someone who will have minimal exposure at the moment though (Especially a bowler) - we all know what happens when the big boys come in for a player, Mars could sponsor the lad from 16-21 with free kit every year but once Kook/GM etc come knocking I imagine it'd be hard to turn down for your lad, however much someone like Mars would've helped in the past.
Good on him though, hopefully you're coaching a future star!!
Coaching?! - It basically involves us talking about the academy/county scene. Don't think I have much to add from the day to day coaching he gets from his coaches/peers. Oh and the fact he is 6ft6 and built like a shed does seem to help him...
Best thing about him is that he's a fantastic lad.
He was clocked at the end of last season playing against SL U19 at 85.6mph - Think they see him as a serious prospect.
I think you are right. Who would turn down free kit from GM/GN etc. TBH, don't think he is too far away from that level.
