13 hey? That'll break Hasan Raza's supposed record by about a year, and probably the real record by about 4.With the batting stocks that the Kiwis usually have, if the lad keeps up the good work then I expect him to get in the team by 2014 and then to score 1000+ each year so expect this post digging to take place by 2019-2020
Off topic but I read that Man U & Arsenal were tracking a 12 year old prodigy which I find a little wrong.
Does anybody else find the idea of a 12 year old smashing 19 year olds around the park amusing?
When I was a kid, we used to holiday at a friend's bach in Whangamata with another family. Me (aged 8) and the two boys from the other family (aged 9 and 11) played cricket day and night for a week. Towards the end of the week, three adult guys who were holidaying at the place next door came over and challenged us to a game.

Poor form, fella. Throwing around insults about someone, and not just anyone, a respected CWer, on another forum. Expected better of you than that.
Can't agree with you more there. Darn, he will undergo a lot of transitions, he will gain a lot of height, and a batsman's height plays an important factor in his technique. This is just crass imititation.
Just like **** is a slang for Pakistanis, Aussie a slang for Australians the same way 'gora' is a slang for brits used commanly by us, don't know why it is considered a racial slur on Pak passion since I never thought of it as one.
The irony of the comments being that this child is being developed in quite a traditional English way.
That is the complete opposite of natural talent. That is taught and structured technique.
Nothing natural in the slightest from what is available to see.
The world is full of kids that look amazing at a young age but hit their peak young and never amount to anything. To suggest this kid is a once in a generation talent is dramatically over selling it. Some people are a little overly excitable.
As for this comment
Not sure where to start or how much offense to take.
In Pakistan we call Brits 'goras' never thought of it as a racial slur, when I used the word it was just casually and was quite surprised to see the word getting censored.
Thanks for stirring the pot.
Hmm, fair enough. Guess the one trouble with filters - especially unfamiliar filters - is that the imagination is left run wild and one could imagine something to be something else.
Jeys, you are kidding me.
