After watching Sohail Khan I certainly feel he will be able to deliver the goods on the international stage. He certainly is not the finished article yet but has all the basic ingrediants that are needed to be a good test match bowler.

Just returning to the Sohail Khan case, it's interesting to see that he was first being talked-up 4 years ago, by Rashid Latif.

Yeah Ive seen Sohail Khan bowl a couple of times, and I can help but be impressed with his action and run up. Theres a lot more that goes into bowling than just that of course, but he definetly does look like he might develop into a genuinely good bowler if he follows the right footsteps.

Who will be the McGrath's, Warne's, Tendulkar's and Lara's of tomorrow? Which young (or older) stars of today will be impressing in years to come?

Who will standout?

My own picks for the Kiwi team will be:

Southee
Taylor
Ryder
Hay
Anderson

I personally believe Taylor can become one of the top 5 Test batsman in the world, while I have hopes that Southee can dominate. Ryder could go either way, into drunken obscurity or he could be a world leader. The two others though yet to poke their noses in the international scene have a lot of talent in their pockets and could definitely go on to become stars.

What about the likes of Steyn, Sharma, Broad, Malinga do any of these young guys have the potential and the mental ability to do well on the world stage?

(Rich to look this page up in 5 years time to comment on who was right and wrong FTW)

You mean aside from the obvious that Taylor isn't a top 5 test batsmen, and that Southee doesn't dominate?

Though on a more on topic front, Clarke is already a star and Johnson should do well, though I don't think he'll average anything under 25, so I don't think he will be a star.

Sharma is just as likely to go completely off the map ala M Patel as he is to be a star.

Also reckon it's fair enough to say Pathan is a future star as he could soon take up the mantle of the worlds best allrounder post Kallis.

Was sounding pretty ****ing on to it up to the point that I said Irfan Pathan would be the worlds best allrounder.

Yikes.

You do realise that after this Test hundred Taylor will now almost certainly officially be in the top 5 of the official test rankings. I can only assume that you haven't seen Southee in the last 2 years as well.

He was done with it after his 120 against England ffs get with it.

Find me all of his slog sweep dismissals below 100 runs between 2008 - 2014.

just because he played them after 100 doesn't make them any less irresponsible.
