If he gets to thirty and out six times in 3 tests, he’ll be doing very well
Isn’t that what Sibley did, and was discarded in favor of some guy who at that time was averaging in the mid twenties in first class cricket. I forget the name.
Emilio Gay has crossed my radar.
Could I ask for a potted summary of the talents/potential of:
Rehan Ahmed (Leicestershire)
Sonny Baker (Hampshire)
Matthew Fisher (Surrey)
James Rew (Somerset)
What is a potted summary?
I’ve watched Rew bat at Somerset, one of his hundreds last year. He was very good, but the suggestion at the time was that he wouldn’t be able to nudge into England. Very happy to see his name on the team sheet, although it seems likely Somerset will be denied his talents for him to carry drinks.
That’s one of the inherent inequities of the game.
You have somebody in form with potential and you stop them playing so they can watch others, so nobody benefits from their capabilities.
