22 year-old batsman, old Etonian, has played two seasons for Leeds-Badford Uni and currently with Sussex seconds as a trialist.From JF's excitment, I take it he must have got some runs v Northants seconds yesterday?
Surprised he's not on Middx's radar as he's been playing for Brondesbury in the Middx premier league.
on edit: Cricket Archive says he represented Middx from u-13s through the age groups and has turned out for the county second XI, but not since 2011.

Looked him up in Wisden 2011, page739 - he captained the school and in the 2010 season broke the Eton record with 1,286 runs at an avge of 80.
Four seasons have passed since then, so he looks at the moment to be one of those prodigiously gifted, record-breaking schoolboy cricketers (Sam Northeast at Harrow springs to mind) who has struggled to step up. He was coached at Eton by former Sussex favourite Monty (Montgomerie, not Panesar)...

Future MP and cabinet minister. All the right schooling.
School cricket, joke! Means nothing these days.

As has been said by other posters runs in school cricket mean nothing! |
