In fairness, Jacks has only played 3 times for Surrey, only one of which was on TV, and when you look at the other players in that side you can see why he isn't spoken about as much. That said, he has score quite a few runs for the England U19s iirc, as has Brook. Maybe it just shows that not everyone pays much attention to the U19 stuff. Pope hardly played for the U19s so that might show it's not hugely important as a gauge of how good a young player really is. I'd definitely agree with the lack of exposure though, all these guys in the IPL getting hyped up because people are actually seeing them play on a big stage, which just doesn't happen over here as very little seems to be on TV or spoken about
