Looks like a wonderful talent. SA are finding it very hard to get him out, grit and resilient and determined. Almost Dravid-esque. However in county games I've seen him also make a run a ball hundreds, especially in List A and he also has the explosive power in T20's. Potential great?

he is clearly under age.

[Old guy]

far from it! its just kp effect...tbh he is still on 28 beaten countless times and keep in mind south africa is on back foot cos of assault by kp

Sabby, what you have to consider is that his average in First Class matches is almost 50, and that its not like Rohit Sharma average where the pitches are dead. he does this playing in England where the pitches are greentops and swing like mad. You have to be special to be able to produce that.

Ian Bell is different. Fantastic, almost perfect technique. Terrible mental strength.

Am I wrong? Have you seen the pitches in the 2012 county championships? Rare scores of over 250 due to the fact that the pitches and conditions were so hard to play in.

Have i ever said ATG? I said great, hence England great. And apart from Ramprakash and Hicks aside, most players who have played in county like Taylor have gone on to do something special.

[Old guy]

there ya go :)

[indiaregulator]

Jinxed him haha

[Texy]

what a bore of an inning

[Old guy]

see he is young player an improve and become a good player.. right now he is barel surviving in his own home granted against no 1 bowling attack now wht would he do in subcontinent ? prior looks like a better bat to be tbh but this is first match will def improve

[Old guy]

one techncal flaw.. he isnt coming forward completely .. probably cos morkel is bowling so will cut him some slack :P

[Sachin=GOD]

Potential great out
