Ben Stokes for me in a midweek T20 the season before he joined Durham, he still holds the record for the quickest century in that leagues history 103 off 42 balls (or somewhere near) aged 14/15 at the time. He didn't get me out though!

Played all my junior cricket against, Ben Stokes (Durahm) Jamie Harrison (Durham) Jordan Clark (Lancashire) and Greame Clark (Durham). Professional wise, best bowler was probably Kenroy Peters (at 14 he was scary fast for me, 49* that day mind) Also Played with Kelby Pickering. One of the best bowlers I have had the pleasure of fielding first slip to.

Played against Pickering a couple of times when he was at Loughton in Essex League. Good bowler.

He could nudge it through at a fair rate of knotts, especially when things were not going his way. I played a season with him when I was playing for Forfarshire in the Scottish Leagues.

Played pre-season game against lancs first. Atherton, Titchard, Crawley, fairborther was the top four I had to open
 Up against luckily not needed to bat as Chappel and Martin steamed in, in dying light on a bouncy old trafford track.

I thought I recognised the name, remember facing him up at Forthill.

Noticed a few of our ex-pros cropping up here, nice to see.

Had the good fortune to play with/against some very good players, sometimes you just watch in awe at how effortless they make it look. Played against Chris Harris once and he ended up with ridiculous figures, every ball was different and we had no clue how to play him.

A guy called Jon Jon Smuts once smacked us for a massive score, hit our pro for 30+ off one over, at one point while I was bowling at him we ran out of balls. Later that year I saw him clearing the front leg and punting 150kph Shaun Tait deliveries into the stands in a CL T20, made me feel a little better.

You're not wrong!

Tbh I've only played 1st team consistently for the last few years and the standard of pros isn't what it was 10-15 years ago, still some very impressive amateurs in the league though.

Ali Azmat is my best mate in cricket I played with Ali for 4 season he is a a very aggressive batsman who can destroy teams and his bowling is underrated he can take wickets and tie a end up.

Decent fielder
Top guy have you signed him
