Only ever seen his batting but have scoreboard followed his bowling.He's bowling 125-130k out swingers whilst being good enough to bat in the top five as an 18 year old. That's exceptional, especially by New Zealand standards.
I don't fully understand how he is so good at batting as an 18 year old. Nonetheless to be a top 6 batsman for the blackcaps he needs one of the better coaches in the country to work on his on side play with him. His next 24 months are key from a development perspective. He needs to be given specific batting drills with a view to expanding the range of shots he can use to score a single, especially through the on side.
He is very good and is already in the top 50 plunket players despite being a rookie.
I took him first round in Kippax's draft so am a believer. I guess my point is that it is not a slam dunk and that he must work hard.
