Sachinism Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Aite, this lad, I've known him since he was born, his family is a part of my cricket club. Though his main club is Wanstead CC as we're small fish and he would never develop or get noticed with us. He is 16 years old and currently playing for England U-19 Today he scored 54 coming in at 25/4 to help England win. A few weeks back he scored 230 odd of 95 balls for his club, followed up with 130 for his school (not massive achievements) but his got talent. I believe he has already played a few games for Essex 2nd's Watch out for him Here is today's scorecard - http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/492543.html --- Dec 2010 He was recently awarded the prestigious Sir John Hobbs Silver Jubilee Memorial Prize. Kishen joins an impressive list of winners including, Mike Gatting, Mike Atherton, Mark Ramprakash and John Crawley. Kishen won five awards at the presentation dinner for: best batsman, best captain, fastest 50, highest run scorer and lastly and most impressively, the Neil Lloyd Memorial Trophy, which is awarded to the best player at the festival. Past winners of the trophy include Ramprakash, Trevor Ward, Mal Loye, Crawley and Andrew Flintoff.
daryl1985 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 Good luck to the boy. Hope he goes on to represent England.
kabira Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 well hope he plays for England, atleast they will have one more from their own country.
Sachinism Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 I know he is a serious golfer, but has chosen cricket as the way to go
Sachinism Posted July 29, 2011 Author Posted July 29, 2011 So is he an Indian who has settled in England? Born here.
Sachinism Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Made 34 off 33 @ 7 today 2nd highest score in the team http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/492544.html
achilles Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Quite good. Hope the young man aspires to play for the Lions in the near future.
Cricketics Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Rajiv is following him on twitter. The _ani in the end confirms that he has follower from ICF. Same biradri.
Sachinism Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Made the England U-19 squad for the world cup
Cricket Tragic Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Did he support India or Ingerland in cricket before he made the squad? :hmmm:
MCcricket Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 With England he has no future even if he is really good, they will toy with him, he will be a peripheral selection in and out, So many Solanki's, Bopara's, Owais's ,Monty's, Mahmood's have been wasted in the past.
