It would be good if he develops...Wiltshiremen who've played for England are a bit thin on the ground....Jon Lewis would be the most recent, Ken Palmer played a Test and Robin Hobbs was a tidy leggy, I'm starting to struggle after those three.

his club side used to be goatacre - which i believe r4e used to play for, then he moved to south wilts, but i think he was gonna play for goatacre a couple of weeks back before it got rained off

If he's that young I am sure that TCP90 will be very familiar with him!  |

Same as my kid...I tried to get him to bowl right as well in his formative years, as a variation...he just can't do it. |
